Today, more than ever, accessibility in video games is a key issue in our industry.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to recent estimates, recently shared by Microsoft<\/a>, more than 400 million gamers<\/strong> around the world have a disability. These are video game fans who aspire to be able to enjoy our adventures from start to finish, with as few obstacles as possible. Just like anyone else.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why at Ubisoft Qu\u00e9bec<\/a>, we aim to make accessibility and inclusivity an essential part of our creative process. Initiatives have been put in place within our teams to better educate and raise awareness of the different needs of players with disabilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s crucial that we raise awareness and include everyone as early as possible in the development process to make sure that we\u2019re in line with the goals we\u2019re trying to achieve in terms of accessibility,\u201d says Steven Breton<\/strong>, User Experience Team Leader at Ubisoft Qu\u00e9bec.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Initiating the Discussion<\/h2>\n

It is in this context that our studio welcomed specialized speakers in mid-September<\/strong>. They came to share with us the good works of our franchises in terms of accessibility and the different barriers they encountered through their experiences with our games.<\/p>\n
