Further customisation settings targeted towards players with visual impairments will allow users to scale the size of the HUD, and alter colour profiles and colour blind settings. Both field of view, and the level of camera shake experienced during gameplay are also adjustable. “The game offers accessibility not just through options, but also by conscious design choices,” said Baker.
