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 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.
