There is a High Contrast mode on PC version but it was barred to be on PS4 and 5 by a bug at release. Sifu has a steep learning curve that wants you to adapt and a lack of accessibility will prevent many from experiencing its greatness.

Sifu already comes with a bunch of accessibility features like brightness adjustments, camera controls, subtitles and more. Nevertheless, introducing a host of new settings will make it an even more enjoyable experience for everyone.
