Game Accessibility Guidelines Published
A series of guidelines have been published to help game developers and publishers make games more accessible to every kind of gamer.
The guide covers three different categories: basic, intermediate, and advanced accessibility, and then is further divided into six additional categories that cover all manner of handicap including general, motor, cognitive, visual, hearing, and speech accessibility. The guide has been published in the interest of making games more open and playable to everyone. They are open to the public and you can check them out here.
If you want to know more about accessibility and video games, you can read some of the work of one of Game Informer's recent interns, Josh Straub. Josh finished up his internship and started a website called D.A.G.E.R.S., which stands for disabled accessibility for gaming entertainment rating system. You can follow Josh's work here.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
