Here are the winners of the 2021 Video Game Accessibility Awards

On March 12, the 2021 Video Game Accessibility Awards were held on Twitch, highlighting the best games that have made their experiences more accessible to the disabled community as well as others who are restricted from playing by other means.

The award show was hosted by Writer at Santa Monica Studio Alanah Pearce and Senior Director at AbleGamers Steven Spohn. AbleGamers worked in collaboration with the show, with the charity’s mission focusing on “creating opportunities that enable play in order to combat social isolation, foster inclusive communities, and improve the quality of life for people with disabilities.”
