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.

Steam is adding screen reader support and other accessibility tools

Valve’s latest Steam beta adds new accessibility features to Big Picture mode and SteamOS.

The Verge
It defaults to it if you install with a screen reader. I'm not sure beyond that. Debian has packages that are older than I am, so I wouldn't worry about them dropping it any time soon.
