User researchers like Elisabeth Whyte made sure players' voices were heard in your favorite Xbox games. On July 6th, Elisabeth and her entire team at Zenimax were laid off. Now, make your voice heard and #SaveGameWorkers by telling Microsoft to end their cycles of layoffs: shorturl.at/5ruBE

A sad but important read. This is the reality of the industry, and Grant gives voice to it.
For seven years, I've had the privilege of reporting on accessibility and the disabled perspective. And now, during my seventh Disability Pride Month in this industry, I'm left wondering if this beat is coming to an end. Read my first @skyboxcritics.com piece here: skyboxcritics.com/2026/07/28/t...
To the people complaining about the bomb attack nerf: you did see that this will be a OPTION, right? If you don’t want the nerf, don’t use the option… Also, I wouldn’t call this boss a “secret optional boss”. Beating the boss is clearly important to the story, come on now.
We've released v0.0.250 for DELTARUNE Chapter 5 on Steam & PlayStation. This fixes a number of minor issues and bugs across the game. We'll do one more patch after this!

Our AbilityPoints Diamond Award goes to the game that made the biggest accessibility impact overall in 2025. We chose id Software's DOOM: The Dark Ages! (@doom.com) Giving players more choice in their challenge and many other features made Hell accessible to all! caniplaythat.com/2026/05/21/a...
I’m seeing so many people comment saying that the souls-like difficulty was making them not want to buy the game they were otherwise psyched for, but thanks to these modifiers the game is an instant buy! It’s almost like accessibility sells. 😉
Hoping to make the game easier? Amp up the challenge? Looking to get WEIRD???? 🥸 We’ve got you covered. Mina the Hollower has tons of built-in modifiers that customize your experience from the lenient to the punishing. 💪 What kind of experience are YOU going to craft? 👾
