Gaming and Disability Player Experience Guide

The Gaming and Disability Player Experience Guide is a supplemental resource to the Xbox Accessibility Guidelines. While the Xbox Accessibility Guidelines provide a prescriptive list of game accessibility best practices organized by game area (for example: XAG 101: Text display or XAG 102: Contrast), this resource organizes common barriers to gameplay and related best practice guidelines found in the XAGs by type of disability.

This guide is intended to help game developers gain a more holistic understanding of the barriers that players with certain types of disabilities may experience when game mechanics, display, content, and other aspects of the game’s design are not developed with these members of the Gaming and Disability Community in mind.
