If you want to see how UI text size and contrast scaling can be done across a game's UI, up to TRULY HUGE SIZES and high contrast, alongside a whole host of other great options and design, you will struggle to find better than Atomfall. This is well earned, congratulations Rebellion!

I will write something proper somewhere but the emetophobia toggle is SO special to me I canโ€™t thank the team enough for their support on getting this set up ๐Ÿฅบ and to know this was on the list makes little me (and current me!) so happy ๐Ÿฅบ๐Ÿ’— #gaconf #seaofthieves

EXTREMELY WELL DESERVED!!!

An enormous amount of work and effort went into this - Iโ€™m so incredibly proud and humbled ๐Ÿ–ค

To me there are so many puzzle pieces that make up holistic accessibility, and one of those is actually informing players how your game can support them. More accessibility trailers please! ๐Ÿ‘

Just how many games there were across all these award categories and the fact a AA category was viable just proves how much work studios are doing for accessibility!

Huge congratulations to everyone, and yes this has made my year a little bit ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ–ค

What an amazing line-up! And these are just the winners. All the games, publishers, studios, people, and their work nominated are worthy of your time (and not just because I was a nominee ๐Ÿ˜…).

Congrats @rare.co.uk!

Working with these folks was always the best - @topher.io and the crew did great work. Helping game teams with accessibility, I'm often building foundations, but with Rare, it was about helping maintain maximum speed and discovering new places off the map. ๐Ÿ’–

Love @gaconf.bsky.social bringing the Awards again for another year.
We have to celebrate the wins loudly as the rest of the industry still needs teaching.

Holy, I cannot believe this actually happened! I won?!

Thank you everyone! I have had one of the hardest year in 2025, but the focus on accessibility, something so much more important in the big scheme of things, have kept me afloat and happy <3

But I'm standing on shoulders of giants

It's such an amazing honor to see the games teams' (and our!) efforts to be recognized in such a way. And with such an amazing competition, too! I bet it was a really close call!
Congratulations to all winners! โค๏ธ

Hello hello! For Access Granted, I'm looking to speak with disabled couples on how they play games. How do you and your partner(s) play with your disabilities? What games/accessibility tools are best for you and your partner(s)?
