The 01.001.005 note describes toggleable Senses options as something Insomniac is exploring for a future update; it does not announce a shipped on/off toggle.
Public support API article body, final paragraph: possible toggleable options in a future update.
Supports
The 01.001.005 note describes toggleable Senses options as something Insomniac is exploring for a future update; it does not announce a shipped on/off toggle.
Limit
This is not a commitment to a toggle or a release date. It does not prove the absence of every existing accessibility option; no menu or later build was tested.

SECTION 03
Known story blockers and the tree-slide workaround
01 · Editorial interpretation
Insomniac says update 01.001.004 fixed Jean Grey dropping off during a Japan mission and Logan failing to slide under a Telambang prison door. Install the newest update your PS5 offers before retrying either point.
September 15 hotfix note, second and third fix bullets.
Supports
Insomniac says update 01.001.004 fixed Jean Grey dropping off during a Japan mission and Logan failing to slide under a Telambang prison door. Install the newest update your PS5 offers before retrying either point.
Limit
The note does not identify the exact Japan mission, provide a checkpoint-recovery procedure, or guarantee recovery of a save already stuck there. Kingy has not tested either fix. Checking for updates before retrying is Kingy advice based on the documented fix, not an Insomniac recovery procedure.

Limit
Insomniac does not give a default dodge button, confirm that the issue is fixed in a later build, or guarantee that this works for every stuck state. Kingy has not tested it.

SECTION 06
Bonus content before a new save
01 · Editorial interpretation
Missing pre-order or Digital Deluxe items? Insomniac says Bonus Content should be on by default. When starting a new save, open All Settings → Bonus Content and set it On. That instruction does not establish a fix for an existing save; keep your current save.
Support answer, new-save setting path and default-on statement.
Supports
Missing pre-order or Digital Deluxe items? Insomniac says Bonus Content should be on by default. When starting a new save, open All Settings → Bonus Content and set it On. That instruction does not establish a fix for an existing save; keep your current save.
Limit
The developer gives no way to change this setting for an existing save, no entitlement-refresh guarantee, and no reason to delete or overwrite progress. The save-preservation caution is Kingy advice. No console or account was tested.
