Steam just added screen reader support in the latest Big Picture Mode beta. On the Deck. On SteamOS. On Linux.
Not hacked in. Not community-patched. Built-in. From Valve.
There's an accessibility tab. There's a screen reader. There's high-contrast mode, UI scaling, color filters, reduced motion, and more.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but: I need a Steam Deck now.
Accessibility isn’t just coming to gaming — it’s here, and it’s official.
Let’s make some noise so they keep going.

@fireborn Are there still any parts of the installation and setup process for Steam on Windows that aren't accessible?

@fireborn I've avoided buying games from Steam because my understanding was that some workarounds were necessary to use the Steam client with a screen reader. But maybe that knowledge is outdated? I hope so.

@matt @fireborn I use steam all the time for games, and it works just fine.
