Game Accessibility Guidelines

Also known as: GAG

A community-maintained reference (gameaccessibilityguidelines.com) co-authored by game developers, academics, and specialists, organising recommendations for making video games more accessible across motor, visual, cognitive, speech, and hearing disabilities. The guidelines are tiered Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced, and each recommendation is paired with player quotes and example implementations. GAG is widely treated as the most comprehensive a11y resource for 3D games and has become a common starting point for XR a11y research, though it was designed for desktop-screen games rather than immersive headset experiences.
