Microsoft addressed the question it has received from the gaming community regarding the game that suits the players' needs. The players should know which game will suit their needs before purchasing it from the store. These are some very important issues and the company is keen on finding a solution to it. Right now only the members of the Xbox Accessibility Insiders league can see all the details of games in the Microsoft Store for Xbox, and this feature will officially arrive for everyone in future.

The company is planning to make changes to the new feature after receiving the feedback from the members of Xbox Accessibility Insiders League. This tag will show twenty different features that most gamers often look for. The company has selected these features after discussing with the community and research on the topic.

The listed accessibility features include the ability to remap input, whether the game offers subtitles or not, the gamers can know whether the single stick gameplay is supported or not, or whether they can use a full keyboard with the title or not. All the game publishers have been provided with options for linking their product’s information. 

We can expect the new accessibility tags to arrive in the PC Xbox app, Xbox Game Pass and the Xbox.com in a few months.
