The Entertainment Software Association has launched the Accessible Games Initiative to enhance accessibility in the gaming industry. This initiative collaborates with major companies like Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft, introducing 24 specific tags that categorize various accessibility features into auditory, gameplay, input, and visual types. These features, such as Full Input Remapping and Narrated Menus, will soon appear on digital storefronts. ESA's president emphasized the importance of gaming for the 44.1 million Americans with disabilities, highlighting a growing trend towards more inclusive gaming experiences from big companies like Microsoft and Sony.
Tens of millions of Americans have a disability and often face barriers to experiencing the joy and connection that comes with playing video games.
