Set up Assassin's Creed Shadows for blind and low-vision players
Combine screen narration, guided mode, audio cues, aiming assists, and simplified combat—with clear caveats for fully blind play.
EA Sports FC 26
Football game with high contrast in all modes, English menu narration, color filters, subtitles, shadow options, and control/gameplay assists.
Short verdict
Low-vision players who can follow the match visually with high contrast and reduced clutter. Blind players should not treat this as full no-sight football.

Accessibility
- High Contrast Mode works in all modes and lets you set separate colours for home team, away team, goalkeepers, referee, and ball.
- The pitch can be desaturated to grayscale, and player/stadium shadows can be turned off to reduce visual clutter.
- Menu narration is available in the US English version and reads some UI, including highlighted tile text and menu items.
- Text-to-speech and speech-to-text apply to VoIP communication, not full gameplay narration.
- Subtitles can be adjusted with size, colour, background, and shadow for Career mode cinematics.
- One Button / Two Button controls, remapping, simplified skill moves, and several gameplay assists can reduce precision demands.
Known limitations
- I found no confirmed screen reader or audio navigation for the match itself, ball position, player positioning, tactics, or full menu use beyond parts of the UI.
- Text-to-speech is documented for VoIP, so it should not be confused with full screen-reader support.
- Menu narration is only confirmed as US English-only in EA’s source; Norwegian narration is not confirmed.
- Simplified One/Two Button controls cannot be used in competitive online matches according to EA.
- Ultimate Team and the online economy can still be a barrier for some players; test through a trial or refund option if possible.
