PlayStation 5 – De toegankelijkheidsinstellingen
A comprehensive overview of the accessibility settings
The PlayStation 5 offers a wide range of accessibility options that make gaming more enjoyable and feasible for everyone — whether you experience visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive challenges, or simply want to personalize your gaming experience.
In this special, we take you into a deep dive through the PS5’s accessibility menu. We explain what each setting does, what it is intended for, and how you can activate them yourself. Everything is supplemented with clear screenshots so that players as well as parents, guardians, or caregivers can get started.
Waar vind ik de instellingen voor toegankelijkheid terug?
Zet je PS5 aan en ga naar het hoofdscherm (het beginscherm met je games en apps).
Ga rechts bovenaan naar het tandwieltje (⚙️) – dit is het menu ‘Instellingen’.
Kies daar de tweede optie van boven: Toegankelijkheid.
Visuele instellingen: Scherm en geluid

When you activate this, you can choose a specific color filter that adjusts the screen so that colors are easier to distinguish from each other.
Available options (after enabling)
After activation, you can usually choose between various filters, such as:

Blue-yellow filter (for tritanopia)
Shades of gray (for complete loss of color or visual rest)
You can also the intensity of the filter Adjust with a slider, depending on what is most comfortable for your vision.
The colorful test images on the left and right of the screen help you visually assess the effect and adjust it to your needs.
This feature can make a huge difference in readability and orientation within games and menus, especially in colorful environments where contrast is important.
