Microsoft this week revealed a new testing platform geared towards helping developers engineer and refine the accessibility of their games.
Developers can now send their Xbox or PC titles directly to Microsoft and have it measured against Xbox Accessibility Guidelines.
As outlined in a blog post by gaming accessibility senior program manager Brannon Zahand, developers will receive comprehensive feedback and notes where issues are found, complete with reproduction steps, screenshots, and any other relevant information.
Furthermore, in order to help developers understand the potential impact of their design decisions, Microsoft will include "links to gaming accessibility and inclusive design documentation, nonprofits and industry-recognised subject matter experts, platform-specific technical documentation, and more."
