Over the weekend, during the Gears 5 multiplayer tech test, Ablegamers Craig Kaufman highlighted the game’s accessibility features on Twitter.
Things such as text to speech and speech to text, a colour blind mode, and the ability to enlarge subtitles are all great, as is the fact that you can change button tapping moments so that you must hold the button instead. As shown below, there are quite a few things you can tinker with, thankfully.
The first tech test ends this evening at 6pm, but there will be another next weekend, from July 26 through July 29, for those who have missed out on this one.
As pointed out by PC Gamer, it appears that you can’t turn off camera shake or fiddle with the target lock-on in PvE modes on anything harder than the beginner difficulty. Gears 5 isn’t out until September 10, so plenty of time for changes to be made.
