Ubisoft rolls out Accessible Games Initiative tags on game store pages
Published:
In short
Ubisoft has started a progressive rollout of Accessible Games Initiative tags on its product pages. The first games named by Ubisoft are Rayman Legends, Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition, Splinter Cell Blacklist, and Valiant Hearts: Coming Home. The tags use a shared industry vocabulary for accessibility, and Ubisoft gives examples such as Narrated Menus, Save Anytime, Full Input Remapping, and Color Alternatives.
When accessibility information is placed on the product page, players with vision loss can more easily decide whether a game is worth investigating before they buy. This is still not confirmation that the listed games are fully playable without sight; the exact tags and real playability still need to be checked.
