Gaming has become increasingly inclusive due to advancements in accessibility regarding controllers, consoles, and games. Over the past decade, gamers have been advocating for the elimination of obstacles and the incorporation of color-blind modes, audio descriptions, subtitles, and adaptive controller support in video games. The MSU Libraries’ Digital Multimedia Center (DMC) located on the 4th floor West hosts a variety of gaming titles; they are available for checkout or can be utilized in one of the two video game labs that can be booked. These labs are equipped with multiple game consoles featuring adaptive controllers compatible with the systems. The video game labs are accessible to the public and can be employed to experience the various adaptive controllers and accessibility features in gaming.
