[games_access] XB1 a11y controller

[Ian Hamilton]

This is nice!

Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, put out a single tweet for global accessibility awareness day. Out of all of the work being done across the whole business, all the accessibility innovation across all the product areas, he used that tweet to highlight the importance of accessibility in gaming.

Audazzle are developing inclusive and accessible multi-player game experiences. We hope to impact social isolation. Our aim is to make video games, board games and social opportunities that meet diverse accessibility needs.



Nobody should get left out because of technology, all friends and family members should be able to play games together.
