Accessibility Resources
Welcome to the starting line! If this your first time playing, below are a few details to get you familiar with the game:
As a first time player, we want to make sure your accessibility onboarding goes smoothly. As the game does not offer a tutorial or immediate display of controls, players should review the Controls layout and the always available Tutorials with the Braking Point pause menu. Additionally, this game has plenty of settings, so please make sure to look at all of them before playing. Below, we highlight some settings and gameplay features that may be helpful for you. Please note that some settings are not available in all difficulty settings so menus make look different during gameplay if you change your difficulty settings. Lastly, this guide is based on the US, English version for PC and consoles only.
