Summary

  • Gaming arena Good Trouble has unveiled AbleToPlay, a games discovery platform geared towards gamers with disabilities and their families, enabling them to discover titles that match their accessibility needs.
  • AbleToPlay will be available from March 10 and will feature a world-first personalised score system, allowing users to gauge whether a game fits their individual requirements.
  • The platform has been developed in collaboration with the World Institute on Disability, and is designed to be a “trusted resource” for gamers with disabilities.
  • Good Trouble set out to create the platform after founder Arman Nobari’s experiences with cancer and subsequent time spent in hospital, where he observed the limitations of entertainment for ill patients.
  • The launch of the Xbox Adaptive Controller in 2018 paved the way for projects focusing on disability and gaming.
