Last week we shared the launch of Game Jam 4 All – our accessibility-focused game jam with the University of Staffordshire. 120 students jumped in to build video games that put inclusive design first – proving accessibility can expand who gets to play without compromising depth or fun. Some of the accessibility-first thinking we loved seeing: 🎛️ Inventive control schemes that reduce complexity while expanding player choice 🎮 Visual styles designed for clarity and contrast 🎧 Thoughtful use of spatial audio ⚙️ Fully customisable settings that give players greater control over how they play They showed that accessibility and great gameplay go hand in hand, raising the bar for inclusive video game design. Congratulations to the winning teams, runners-up and everyone who took part. We’re proud to support the next generation of inclusive video game developers. 🎥 Watch the video below to see accessibility in action.
