Google, Microsoft, Nintendo Of America And Ubisoft Reveal ‘The Accessible Games Initiative’

The Entertainment Software Association (ESA), which is comprised of the leading gaming, entertainment tech and publishing giants, announced its latest venture, the Accessible Games Initiative.

The program, cosigned by powerhouse video game studios Square Enix, Electronic Arts, Nintendo of America, Riot Games, Sony Interactive Entertainment, Warner Bros.

Games and Ubisoft alongside tech giants Google, Amazon Games and Microsoft, is described as a categorization tool aimed at unifying a shared industrial language to help a swath of gamers with disabilities.

As the industry continues to climb toward developing games with accessible attributes, the initiative will not only help players identify what accessibility features are available in any given video game, but more specifically, it will hold studios to task in providing consistent terminology across platforms to describe their accessibility features.
