The COVID-19 epidemic prompted major 
growth in the video gaming industry in 
the spring of 2020. 
Video game accessibility has emerged as 
a field of study due to the growing 
popularity of video games and their 
expanding use for purposes other than 
pure entertainment, such as education, 
therapy, or health. This is especially true 
given that players with disabilities may 
benefit from video game opportunities 
the most. 
Video game accessibility is a term used 
in human-computer interaction to 
describe how accessible video games 
are. More broadly, the term "game 
accessibility" applies to the usability of 
all video games, board games, tabletop 
RPGs, and other products.
WHAT IS  V IDEO GAME ACCESS IB I L ITY  IN  
GAMES?
Gaming has long been marketed as a leisure that anyone can 
enjoy, regardless of skill. However, it hasn't always been the 
case. The ability to participate in games or enjoy them 
depends on one's ability to see, move, and hear.
The study of how to make software and computers usable by 
people with different kinds of disabilities is known as video 
game accessibility, and video game accessibility is regarded 
as a subfield of that discipline.
WHAT  ARE  THE  4  P I LL ARS  OF  
ACCESS IB I L I TY?
The foundation of WCAG consists of four key 
accessibility guiding principles. The term POUR, 
which stands for perceivable, operable, 
understood, and robust, refers to these four 
concepts.
Perceivable: The user can recognize content and 
interface elements using their senses if they are 
perceivable. 
Operable: The ability of a user to use 
interactive features such as buttons, controls, 
and navigation. 
Understandable: Users should be able to 
understand the content and pick up on how to 
use your OER site and retain it. 
Robust: The content must be strong enough to 
be reliably interpreted by a wide range of users, 
allowing them to select the interacting 
technology of their choice.
