Psychonauts 2 is officially set to release for the Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, Mac, and Linux on August 25th, and when it does, it appears that it will bring with it a fairly unusual feature in the form of an invincibility toggle. Specifically, according to the official Double Fine Productions Twitter account, the video game will include a toggle for invincibility that players can switch on or off in order to allow them to play through the entire video game without any serious concern. According to Double Fine, the reason for its existence is simple: accessibility.
