A new era in video gaming is making itself known, and has been for some time now. This era recognizes inclusivity within the games that billions enjoy, particularly in terms of making it possible for people with disabilities to still play. It's an important topic and one that has caused some developers to receive criticism. Recently, the studio behind Deathloop was called out for the game's lack of accessibility features. Now, a new website has emerged which aims to be a one-stop place for listing games and what accessibility options they offer for players.

Aptly named the Accessible Games Database, this website went live just a few days ago and presents an easy way for gamers to look for games that have accessibility features. It currently has just over 140 titles on there, with more to come in the future, no doubt. Games such as the immensely successful Among Us will be introducing new features, so it's likely that this will be getting included in the database once those accessibility options come into effect.

In its current state, the website is quite impressive, with each game listing what features are available. It's also possible for people to search based on numerous criteria, such as visual or auditory features. There are some well-known titles in the database so far, many of which some people may not be aware had accessibility features. Games like Cyberpunk 2077, Crash Bandicoot, and even more indie titles like Tetris 99 have been listed so far.

The importance of inclusivity within games has grown over the years, with people implementing ways for disabled gamers to still take part. At the start of this year, a UK charity called Special Effects introduced the EyeMine. This software allowed those with disabilities to play Minecraft with their eyes. Other charities have been established since the turn of the new millennium, such as AbleGamers, which was founded in 2004. The non-profit seeks to improve accessibility for games, working with studios to help create an experience that is more inclusive for disabled gamers.

With a report last year saying that around 40% of the population plays video games, websites such as the Accessible Games Database will play a huge part in helping the industry move forward. With so many gamers across the globe, it's important for more development teams and publishers to recognize the needs of gamers who may feel like they are missing out due to a lack of accessible games.
