Xbox is celebrating Global Accessibility Awareness Day by highlighting the work that it is doing to improve accessibility in gaming.

Gaming is a hobby that should be accessible to everyone, and as part of Global Accessibility Awareness Day, Microsoft is highlighting the initiatives that it is taking to make gaming more inclusive to the estimated 400 million gamers worldwide who have disabilities. This includes company wide schemes, as well as work at individual studios across the Xbox team.

As part of this, Microsoft has announced the creation of the Xbox Accessibility Insiders League, a new program that will help players give accessibility feedback to Xbox’s engineering teams and game developers. Anyone who identifies as a person with a disability can sign up to the league through the Xbox Insider Program. Developers can also sign up to join the Xbox Accessibility Insiders League too.

You can read the full details of Microsoft’s efforts over at Xbox Wire.
