Valve’s Steam platform has recently implemented a significant upgrade that allows users to filter games based on their accessibility features. This improvement is designed to enhance the gaming experience for players with disabilities.

The update enables users to search for titles using various accessibility options, such as ’narrated game menus’ and ‘adjustable difficulty’. Currently, over 5,000 games have been updated to include their accessibility information.

Valve stated, “This update comes after gathering valuable feedback from developers as well as players with disabilities,” noting that it aims to ensure more games are accessible to all players.

Steam’s search functionality now includes a section called “narrow by accessibility feature,” where players can select options like “save anytime” and “playable without timed input” to tailor their gaming experience.

Moreover, popular games like Baldur’s Gate 3 have incorporated multiple accessibility features, demonstrating a growing commitment within the gaming industry to support player diversity.
