Microsoft Unveils Xbox Accessibility Features

Microsoft has announced the release of several new accessibility-focused gaming devices and features for Xbox. The Xbox Adaptive Joystick, priced at $29.99 and launching in early 2025, is designed for players with limited mobility and features customizable buttons and 3D-printable thumbstick toppers. New controllers include the 8BitDo Lite SE 2.4G Wireless Controller for $59.99 and the highly customizable ByoWave Proteus Controller, which offers over 100 million configurations. Additionally, Xbox introduced the Toggle Hold feature to assist players who struggle with prolonged button presses. These initiatives stem from extensive feedback from the gaming community and partnerships with accessibility experts.
