@Jelx_ Not even close to ‘any game’! And majority of games that *do* have sensitivity controls have extreme limits, meaning players with restricted movement are unable to play them.

Congratulations to @EidosMontreal & @SquareEnix for winning the Second Channel award with Guardians of the Galaxy! This category is for games that allow you to get information from multiple sources - like having a visual cue, an auditory cue, and extra indicators.

Congratulations to @Goodbye__World_ & @Skybound for winning the Input Reduction award with Before Your Eyes! This award is for games that allow players to reduce the amount of times they have to press certain buttons, or click mouses, or hit certain keys.

Congratulations to @InnerslothDevs @AmongUsGame for winning the House Rules award, as the only game in any category to receive 100% of the votes! House Rules is a category devoted to games that allow players to make their own rules, and Among Us nails that.

The winner of this year’s Ability to Bypass award is @DeckNineGames/@SquareEnix! This award is for allowing players to skip cutscenes or those dreaded QTEs or - really anything - so they can just keep on playing.

Congratulations to the team at @WeArePlayground & @Xbox for winning the AI Assistance award! This is a category for the games that can automatically detect when players are struggling with something, and provide some handy assistance so that they can progress.
