Steam will soon let you filter games by accessibility feature
1 min read
Summary
Later in the year, Valve plans to add a selection of filter options to Steam, allowing users to narrow down their gaming search by accessibility features.
Developers will have to complete a questionnaire to describe their own game’s accessibility support.
It will be up to the developers to be specific and additional research may be required to determine the exact accessibility functions of each game.
The move comes as part of a drive to make video gaming more inclusive, particularly for people with disabilities.
It remains to be seen whether other gaming companies will follow suit.
Accessibility tags are an increasingly important aspect of games and game marketing, especially with the growing affinity of games as a tool for education and therapy.
