How to Filter Steam Games by Accessibility Features

Steam Search includes accessibility filters that can narrow the catalog by reported gameplay, visual, audio, and input features. Use them to create a shortlist, then verify each game’s accessibility information before.

Open the accessibility filters

Visit Steam Search and find Narrow by accessibility feature. The section divides its filters into four groups:

• Gameplay: Adjustable Difficulty and Save Anytime
• Visual: Adjustable Text Size, Subtitle Options, Color Alternatives, Camera Comfort, Playable without Vision, and Contrast Controls
• Audio: Custom Volume Controls, Stereo Sound, Surround Sound, and Narrated Game Menus
• Input: Playable without Timed Input, Keyboard Only Option, Mouse Only Option, Touch Only Option, Chat Speech-to-text, and Chat Text-to-speech

Select the features required by the player. Steam Search also provides separate filters for operating system, language, controller support, and Steam Deck compatibility.

Verify the results

Steam’s accessibility labels are based on features indicated by developers. Steam Support also states that these labels are not intended to provide an exhaustive inventory of every accessibility feature a game supports.

Open each shortlisted game and examine the accessibility information on its store page. Steamworks documentation says that developer-indicated accessibility options appear in a collapsible section on the side of the page.

For practical verification, check whether the implementation meets the player’s specific requirements—for example, the available text sizes, subtitle customization, supported input methods, or scope of menu narration. The filters identify candidates; the individual game’s details determine whether it is suitable.
