I like this a lot.

I don't have any physical accessibility needs (unless you count my low skill level, git gud scrub) but accessibility options are something I really appreciate seeing in games.

I love being able to adjuat how I experience the game to match my needs, and making this visible and searchable on the store is only going to encourage more games to include good accessibility features :)

I've been loving the trend of including a text size option in some games. I assume it's from the rise of pc handhelds where the games look fine but the smaller text is more difficult to read.

Anyways I'm glad it will be easier for those that need that info to just see on the store page whether or not they can play a game before buying it.

Oh thank goodness. Husband is disabled, and sometimes it's hard to guess what he can and can not play anymore. This will help.
