Steam just added screen reader support in the latest Big Picture Mode beta. On the Deck. On SteamOS. On Linux.
Not hacked in. Not community-patched. Built-in. From Valve.
There's an accessibility tab. There's a screen reader. There's high-contrast mode, UI scaling, color filters, reduced motion, and more.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but: I need a Steam Deck now.
Accessibility isn’t just coming to gaming — it’s here, and it’s official.
Let’s make some noise so they keep going.

Dropped *with* accessibility? This is good news?

I bought my Steam Deck at launch, then my vision degraded past the point where I can actually read the screen. So I've not been able to use it for months, not even enough to find the system update menu.
This would help. A lot.
