What's New

Steamworks has a new accessibility-support questionnaire for developers to better describe the way their games support accessibility. If your game supports Accessibility features, you can now specify that information within Steamworks.

Gameplay options, like adjustable difficulty

Audio accessibility features, including custom volume controls and narrated game menus

Visual accessibility features, including adjustable text size and color alternatives

Input options, which include chat speech-to-text and text-to-speech

Later in the year (once we've given developers time to work on it from their end) we'll start sharing the resulting information with players in the Steam store and Steam desktop client.

Yes please! Browsing Steam is such a stupid experience, it's staggering they still can't be bothered to fix it.

It's been like that since Steam was released. At least the app got a little better than 12 years ago, but even back then it was a disgrace of an app.

It improved quite a bit since early days, it's just the flat structure they used to run with led to a messy development and disjointed feature set.

Valve did make some changes in terms of organisation a few years ago so hopefully all the recent improvements will lead to a serious UI overhaul to tidy things up.
