Twenty four tags have been developed so far to communicate auditory features and input options, for example.
The Accessible Games Initiative is kicking offwith 24 tags.
This differs from the Basic Input Remapping tag, advertising only buttons can be reconfigured.
Other official tags include Narrated Menus, Playable With Mouse Only, Color Alternatives, and Large Text.
These should start appearing on digital storefronts and product pages in the near future.
This is just one of the latest pushes for better accessibility in the gaming industry.
Earlier this week,Microsoft revealed the Xbox Adaptive Joystickthat looks similar to a Wii nunchuk.
It’s compatible with PC and Xbox platforms, as well as the Xbox Adaptive Controller.
