Sure thing, here it goes:

So, Steam did this thing. They actually went and made it easier to find games based on accessibility stuff. Valve, the folks behind Steam, dropped some news on their blog about it. I stumbled across it — no clue why I was on their blog, but hey, here we are.
Turns out, now you can sort games by how easy they are to play for folks with different needs. You can fiddle with the game’s difficulty or change text sizes. Oh, and narrated menus! I mean, I don’t always want someone reading to me, but it’s there if you need it.
On the store pages, there’s like a whole section now for accessibility info. Kinda neat—I guess—if that’s your thing. The official line from Valve was something like, “We’re trying to make it simple for players to find the support they need in games.” Their words, not mine. Though, I get it. Makes sense, right?
Apparently, they took the time to chat with both developers and players who have disabilities before doing this update. That’s cool. It shows they’re not just winging it. They’ve got over, what, 5,000 apps now with these details? And more rolling out every day.
All this means you can now search and filter games to find exactly what you need, which, let’s be honest, might save some headaches. Anyway, if you care about this stuff, now you know. If not, well, I guess you’ve heard it here first. Or last. Who knows.
