The Access-Ability Summer Showcase, now in its third year, aims to address the lack of meaningful accessibility information in video game showcases. With the AAA space seeing slow progress in accessibility, organizer Laura Kate Dale emphasizes the importance of showcasing accessible games and their potential market. The 2025 event has expanded, being streamed on major platforms, which helps alleviate high showcasing costs while ensuring disabled gamers have the necessary information. Dale hopes this initiative encourages other showcases to adopt similar accessibility considerations.
"At a time where we are seeing a slowdown in accessibility adoption in the AAA games space, we're showing that there are interesting accessible games being made, games with unique and interesting features, and that being accessible is something that can bring an additional audience to purchase and play your games."
"I grow the show in the hopes that other showcases copy what we're doing and make this the norm. If I could quit hosting the AA Summer Showcase next year because every other show in June committed to talking about accessibility as part of their announcements, that would be wonderful news."
