Accessibility in Games: An Introduction
A plain-language introduction to game accessibility: who benefits from it, the main categories of features, and how designers think about including more players.
Guides and Reference
Accessibility in Games
Designing and choosing games so more people can play.
Adaptive Controllers and Hardware
How adaptive controllers and other hardware let players with limited mobility play: switches, large buttons, mounts, one-handed layouts and what games must support.
Assist Modes and Flexible Difficulty
What assist modes are, how flexible difficulty settings work, and the main arguments for and against optional help in games, explained without taking sides too hard.
Cognitive Accessibility: Clear Goals and Pacing
How games can reduce mental load with clear objectives, reminders, adjustable pacing and simple options, helping players with memory, attention or processing differences.
Comfort Settings for Motion Sensitivity
Why some players feel sick or uncomfortable during games and which camera, motion and field-of-view options can help, from head bob to teleport movement.
Control Remapping and Motor Accessibility
How control remapping, hold-versus-press options and simplified inputs help players with limited mobility, tremors or fatigue play without rapid or precise movements.
Subtitles and Captions Done Well
What makes game subtitles and captions useful: text size, backgrounds, speaker labels, sound descriptions and settings players can adjust before the first cutscene.
Testing Accessibility With Disabled Players
How to involve disabled players in game testing respectfully: recruiting, paying fairly, preparing sessions, listening to feedback and acting on what you learn.
Visual Accessibility: Contrast, Text Size and Colorblind Options
How games can support low vision and color vision differences with contrast, scalable text, shape and pattern cues, and well-designed colorblind modes.
