Hello Games

PC owners will be used to rebinding keys for their games, but on PS4 we've so far not had many impactful reasons to dive into its Accessibility settings.

Enter No Man's Sky, and the first game in about a decade that asks you to sprint by clicking the right stick in - despite this being on the left stick during all the preview event coverage. Strange.

Regardless, it's an easy swap. Go to Settings>Accessibility>Enable Custom Button Assignments, and swap both sticks around. Now you can sprint with L3 and scan with R3.

Be aware that changing accessibility functions remaps L3/R3 for EVERY game - but if you're planning on mainlining No Man's Sky for the foreseeable future anyway, that's not a problem.
