Steam just added screen reader support in the latest Big Picture Mode beta. On the Deck. On SteamOS. On Linux.
Not hacked in. Not community-patched. Built-in. From Valve.
There's an accessibility tab. There's a screen reader. There's high-contrast mode, UI scaling, color filters, reduced motion, and more.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but: I need a Steam Deck now.
Accessibility isn’t just coming to gaming — it’s here, and it’s official.
Let’s make some noise so they keep going.

@delta @fireborn if we go this route, i'd love to see them add like, "accessibility ratings" to games, or something like that!

@yukijoou @delta I heard something about adding accessibility features to the sidebar of the store when viewing a game.

@yukijoou @delta @fireborn they did! look:

@yukijoou @delta @tauon the first time Valve has really talked about accessibility at all.
