You thought you knew every nook and cranny of your DualSense controller? On PS5, a simple press of the Triangle button, in the right place in the PlayStation Store, opens a menu that many players are only now discovering. This discreet shortcut reveals a game’s accessibility and gameplay options at a glance, before you even purchase it.
This function is nothing new, however: it has existed since 2023, but it has resurfaced thanks to a Reddit post that has gone viral, where hundreds of players admit to having completely missed it. Here’s how this hidden menu works, what exactly it displays, and why it may change the way you choose your next PS5 games.
PS5: how pressing Triangle reveals a hidden Store menu?
It all started with a message from Reddit user “Cooldude-Reddit” published on March 30, 2026: “Am I the only one who doesn’t know this menu?” he explains, showing the PS5 game purchase screen, with a panel detailing in-game settings that appears after pressing Triangle.
In the responses, other players confess the same surprise: “I just discovered this yesterday, I’m glad I’m not the only one” or “I had no idea, nice detail”. Many recall that at the bottom of the PlayStation Store screen, a text very clearly displays “Triangle for accessibility features”, which most had never taken the time to read.
What does this hidden menu of the DualSense on PS5 really allow?
Concretely, the handling is ultra simple. From your PS5 Home, open the PlayStation Store, view a game page, then press the button Triangle of the DualSense controller. The same menu can also be called up with the key F1 if you navigate using the keyboard. If the studio has entered the tags, a box opens with the list of accessibility and comfort options offered by this title.
Sony officially describes these accessibility tags into six main families: visual, audio, subtitles, controls, gameplay and online communication. In practice, this covers for example the size and readability of texts, colorblind modes, detailed subtitles, key remapping, sensitivity and inversion of analog sticks, or even the presence of simplified difficulty modes and QTEs.
For a player, the interest is immediate. Before taking out the bank card, you know if the game allows you to invert the Y axis, reduce repeated presses, enlarge the subtitles or lower the game speed. Those who have a slight stick drift can check the management of dead zones, while hard of hearing players immediately spot the options for audio mixing, mono output or voice chat transcription.
Since when has this Triangle function existed on PS5 and why use it now?
Sony had however presented this Triangle shortcut on April 3, 2023 on the PlayStation Blog, when the accessibility tags arrived on PS5. Ironically, it was three years later and a simple Reddit post that finally put this useful feature back in the spotlight.
