Valve has released an important update for the Steam digital service, which will make it easier to find games suitable for people with disabilities.

Here's What We Know

The developers have added the ability to filter games by various special accessibility settings. In just a few clicks users can find a game, which, for example, has a mode for colour blind people, the ability to save at any time, automation of some controls, translation of text on the screen into audio format and many other options that are not necessary for everyone, but extremely necessary for certain categories of players.

At the moment, special tags have received about 5 thousand titles and Valve urges developers to deal with this issue, so that the rest of the games were marked accordingly.

At the same time, Valve will not make the presence of such tags a prerequisite for the release of games on Steam, but will still insist on their addition.
