US video games trade body the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has announced the Accessible Games Initiative. 

This venture is designed to give consumers correct information about whether the accessibility features a particular project features. The Accessible Games Initiative was created by Electronic Arts, Google, Microsoft, Nintendo of America and Ubisoft, while Amazon, Riot, Square Enix and Warner Bros have since joined the effort. 

The venture is starting off with 24 tags that cover a variety of accessibility functions, including whether a game features clear text, has appropriate subtitles or the ability to save at any point. 

"Tens of millions of Americans have a disability and often face barriers to experiencing the joy and connection that comes with playing video games," ESA president and CEO Stanley Pierre-Louis said.

"We are immensely proud to announce the Accessible Games Initiative in partnership with industry leaders. This initiative demonstrates how impactful we can be when we work together in our industry-wide pursuit of helping more people experience the power of play."
