Hey Cara can you please give some info on things I need to get passed in Forza Horizon 5? I haven't really been able to get started with that one. I noticed that if they could fixed the map and a few other sticking points we would be good to go. Some of the menus just don't speak at all. It's a shame Hogwarts Legacy isn't blind accessible. I really wanted to play this one. I really think we need to tap in more with devs and push for even more accessibility, or really start creating our own main stream games. That everyone else can play. Motorsport was the first time in a long time I pre-ordered a game. I wondere if anyone has been in touch with Ubisoft about making the crew motorfest blind accessible. The sounds for the cars in that game is amazing. It should be out in September.
