Steam Now Supports Search by Accessibility Features

Valve just rolled out some cool updates on Steam, which, if you ask me, kinda make the whole gaming experience more welcoming for everyone. So, here’s the gist: now you can actually hunt down games based on how accessible they are. Yes, for real.

They put up a blog post about it, which I totally stumbled upon while, I don’t know, probably procrastinating. What caught my eye is that now you can filter games by stuff like changing the difficulty level (because not everyone is a pro, right?), or if you can mess around with the text size, or even if the menus talk to you. Just those bits that make a playing session more chill than a burnt-out popcorn kernel.

Oh, and all that juicy info? It’s not hidden under some seven-layer dip. It’s right there, upfront on game store pages. Hats off to Valve—maybe they finally listened to all that feedback buzzing around from gamers and developers alike. I guess it’s like over 5,000 games have jumped on this accessibility bandwagon. And maybe more are. Or maybe it’s just five… okay, no, definitely more than five.

So yeah, whether you feel like browsing aimlessly or you need specific features to game on, it’s all out there now. It’s like Valve decided to throw out a lifeline and say, “Hey, y’all, come play!”
