Microsoft’s Proteus controller could be a game-changer for accessibility hardware

Just prior to Global Accessibility Awareness Day 2024 on May 16, Xbox announced the development of the Proteus, the company’s latest dive into the accessibility market. Starting this week, the new controller is available to preorder with an expected shipping date of fall 2024.

Xbox revealed the project in a blog post covering the team’s developments on May 15. The Proteus, developed in tandem with ByoWave, features modular adaptivity which lets you move and replace its buttons. As someone who’s always learning about inclusive accessibility in game design, the importance of customizable buttons cannot be understated especially in a controller that lets you create your ideal custom layout.
