Upcoming awards event, The Game Awards, will include audio description
for blind and partially-sighted fans when it's streamed on YouTube
Gaming later this week.
In a tweet shared over the weekend, producer Geoff Keighley confirmed it
will be the first time the live event has offered audio description for
visually impaired players, closing his message with the statement
"accessibility matters".
I?m happy to confirm that #TheGameAwards will have a special audio
descriptive mode livestream on @YouTubeGaming for the first time.
Accessibility matters.
