Dr. Elizabeth White is an inspiration. Working and sche.. *cough* collaborating with her at Xbox was an absolute pleasure. She's a teacher, a student, a friend, and one heckuva fighter. She's a leader amongst games researchers and accessibility champions, and the world is darn lucky to have her.

First of all, thank you so much to everyone for this award. I was happy with the nomination, so you can't imagine how I feel right now 😊. Everyone who was nominated alongside me was equally deserving, and it's an honor to be among them. Thank you so much.

It's such an amazing honor to see the games teams' (and our!) efforts to be recognized in such a way. And with such an amazing competition, too! I bet it was a really close call! Congratulations to all winners! ❤️

Holy, I cannot believe this actually happened! I won?! Thank you everyone! I have had one of the hardest year in 2025, but the focus on accessibility, something so much more important in the big scheme of things, have kept me afloat and happy <3 But I'm standing on shoulders of giants

The winner for Best Journalism at the 2025 GAConf Accessibility Awards is.. Diablo IV: Second Anniversary, by @black1976.bsky.social ! Info on all the finalists & winners: www.gaconf.com/gaconf-award...

Thank you everyone! Advocating for accessibility is often a hard and emotionally draining job. We often remember the features that got cut and forget the progress we make. The GA Conf awards is an amazing opportunity to celebrate the games and the people who make accessible games possible.

Don't miss the GAConf Awards today! The premiere starts a little less than 2 hours from now, but of course you can always watch the show later!

The update is interesting but I *beg* store fronts to be consistent, it makes it harder for players and devs alike to understand what the tags mean...

All accessibility features return in Forza Horizon 6, and Customizable High Contrast Mode is added as well as proximity radar and auto drive.

The audio visualizer in Fortnite (on by default for all players) is an innovative UI element that genuinely improves and enhances the game, in addition to creating a fairer play experience. So, why haven't more games implemented it? I think there are several reasons: #gamedev #ui #ux

We have the details on when and where to watch the GAconf Awards 2025 (@gaconf.bsky.social), with captions and separate streams with BSL, ASL, or audio description. Spoiler: tune in January 29, at 10am PST (6pm GMT) to find out who came out on top this year! caniplaythat.com/2026/01/14/w...

BSLGG launched today, a community-led initiative to create a glossary of gaming specific terms in British Sign Language (BSL). @bslgg.bsky.social aims to help Deaf gamers, game developers, and BSL interpreters more effectively communicate gaming terms and names. caniplaythat.com/2026/01/06/b...

Assassin's Creed Shadows was up for Innovation in Accessibility at The Game Awards. It didn't win, but it didn't lose either. Spoke to the game's director of user experience about how accessibility is a collaborative effort: "Together, we win." www.polygon.com/assassins-cr...

Jo is a real gem!! Kudos to him and his team for everything they've done on Shadows and all their previous games. And having the right approach, celebrating the wins of others because it's not about us. It's about players <3

Posting this just made me remember something and I’m angry with myself bc I should have said this sooner I have a lot used for testing that ends up not being used, and I have this Xbox adaptive controller and the full kit. Happy to ship it to any gamer who HAS THE NEED for the full controller

Félicitations Id Software pour l’Award Innovation en Accessibilité aux #TheGameAwards ! Vitesse du jeu réglable, contraste élevé… de belles avancées pour l’accessibilité. La concurrence était forte avec tous les nominés à 7/10 dans nos tests. 👉 Notre test de Doom The Dark Ages : buff.ly/Ew9hhNg

Congratulations to the teams at ID Software and Bethesda for winning the Innovation in Accessibility award at this year's @thegameawards.com!

The best compliment we could have received this year! What would have been unthinkable even 5 years ago, is now considered "standard" from us by our audience <3 There is still a ton of work to do to improve the #a11y of our games. Meanwhile, I'm going to savour this milestone over the break

Congratulations to idSoftware/@bethesda.net/@lissanna.bsky.social for their Innovation in Accessibility award for @doom.com The Dark Ages!!! What they've done opens up the franchise to many more players and deserves all the praise. More info here: thegameawards.com/news/meet-th...

To whom it may concern @microsoft.com: Who thought it was a good idea to remove the ability to move the taskbar to the left side of the screen on W11? I've been using it this way for as long as I can remember. This is a productivity tool. Let me be productive.

2025 Video Game Accessibility Recap - Access-Ability In this 45 minute video, I recap EVERY bit of video game accessibility news from 2025. This video was a mammoth project, I hope folks check it out. Text: access-ability.uk/2025/12/05/2... Video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sO76...

Anno: Pax Romana is a detailed city-builder with equally detailed accessibility options like color contrast, text resizing, UI resizing, gameplay pausing, colorblind mode, and more! The wealth of features make expanding your empire and shaping the future of Rome super fun!

Been doing a bit more tinkering on this. Does anyone have any accessibility data examples not listed here? Perhaps usage data from your own game that you haven't shared yet? ian-hamilton.com/game-accessi... #gamedev #indiedev

I can 200% vouch for Tetralogical. They were key when I needed support to expand our games #accessibility mandate and ecosystem to encompass our Websites. And led to the recruitment of the amazing @billygregory.bsky.social I'd work with them again without hesitation. And so should you!

FC 26 is nominated for the Innovation in Accessibility Award! Congrats to everyone at EA SPORTS for this major recognition. Ubisoft, Rebellion, Bethesda, and Compulsion are champions for accessibility, and to be amongst them is an honor. But real winners here are gamers with disabilities ♿️✨

Let’s go DOOM: The Dark Ages! I’m so proud of all the work my colleagues put into making a more accessible DOOM game.

Congratulations to everyone nominated!! And selfishly very happy to see one of our games being nominated alongside titles who've done amazing work in the #accessibility field this year. Knowing that lots of those games had friends working on them, it feels like a big family picture <3

Ubisoft once again shared accessibility details, this time shining a spotlight on Anno 117: Pax Romana, released yesterday. With features like different UI sizes and control customization the city builder aims to be accessible on both PC and console. caniplaythat.com/2025/11/14/u...

I'm rooting for FC26! High contrast mode in a multiplayer game is a cornerstone for our industry and will hopefully pave the way for much more to follow. Congratulations for this well deserved nomination.
