EA starts showing Accessible Games Initiative tags on its game pages

In short
Electronic Arts has started showing Accessible Games Initiative accessibility tags on some of its game pages, according to Can I Play That?. The article names The Sims 4, Split Fiction, Tales of Kenzera: Zau, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and Apex Legends as pages where the tags were found. The tags are grouped into categories such as auditory, gameplay, input, and visual, and the AGI tag overview includes items such as narrated menus, large text, clear text, color alternatives, control options, and save anytime.
For blind and low-vision players, this is useful because accessibility information moves closer to the point where someone is deciding whether to try a game. Tags are only a starting point, though: check the exact tags on the game page, and look for practical testing if you need reliable screen-reader support or playability without sight.
