Steam Introduces Accessibility-Focused Search Options

Valve’s doing this thing now—letting folks dig through Steam and find games based on, get this, accessibility stuff. Yeah, they wrote a whole blog about it. It’s like, you can search for games that have certain things—like if you can mess with the game’s difficulty and whatnot. They even have if you can make the text bigger or if there’s a voice reading menus. Cool, right?

So, they’ve added these details right on the game’s page. I kid you not. Their words were something like, “Steam lets you find games with accessibility.” Feels like they’re finally listening. People gave feedback—both gamers and devs, y’know—and bam, now over 5,000 games have info on all this stuff. Probably more by now ’cause devs keep adding details.

It’s like they’re all, “Hey, players, make it easier to find the games you need.” Anyway, that’s pretty much the gist. They say it’s all over the store now. So, that’s something.
