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.

It drives me up the wall that steam has data on all of its games about whether it has voice or subtitles in particular languages, but refuses to let me filter by "games voiced in X language". So instead I have to click into each and every one to see if it has the tick or the cross.
