Steam Now Allows Searches by Accessibility Features

Alright, so here’s the deal. Valve’s been up to some stuff with Steam. Basically, they’re making it easier for folks to find games that won’t have them throwing their controllers across the room. Think accessibility.

I read somewhere that they tossed out a blog post — like, “Hey, we’re giving you more deets on what games have in the way of accessibility.” So now, if you’re the type who needs to tweak the game difficulty ’cause you’re just not feeling the hardcore vibes, or if you want bigger text because squinting at the screen gives you a headache, you can filter for that. And oh, menus getting narrated too? That’s a thing now. Didn’t expect that one, honestly.

Oh, yeah, this info is plastered all over the store pages. So, Steam’s saying, “Look, we wanna help you find what you need without breaking a sweat.” They’ve been chatting with devs and players — especially those who actually deal with disabilities — to make this update happen.

5,000 games with these details? Wowza. And they’re still adding more. It’s like they’re on some kind of mission to make gaming more inclusive. Anyway, you’ll find all this good stuff scattered across the store now, helping you zero in on what you really need.

I dunno, maybe they’re really listening this time. Or they’ve just realized it’s the 21st century. Who can tell? But if it makes life easier for someone out there, that’s gotta be a win, right?
