This document provides an overview of game accessibility guidelines, which aim to make games more inclusive through recommendations for design. It discusses why guidelines are needed to ensure games are accessible to all, including those with disabilities. The guidelines were created by experts in various fields through a process of drafting, reviewing, testing and releasing. They hope the guidelines will be adopted by game developers to allow more players, like gamer Silas Humphreys, to enjoy games regardless of ability.
