Forza Motorsport is adding support for visually impaired players

Microsoft showcases Blind Driving Assists

Soon, Microsoft will release the eighth game in the racing series Forza, and the new version has implemented support so that even visually impaired and blind people can play the game.

Microsoft's game studio Turn 10 Studios has spent two years developing something called "Blind Driving Assists" (BDA), which will enable blind people to drive the new Forza Motorsport. Microsoft writes about BDA:

"Blind Driving Assists work by providing a set of supplemental audio cues designed to help Low/No Vision players navigate the tracks of Forza Motorsport. The feature set was driven by the Audio team at Turn 10 and built in close partnership with our accessibility team throughout development. Players can listen to detailed descriptions, as well as a preview of each audio cue they will encounter on-track from within the accessibility menu. Once the player has familiarized themselves with the different audible information, what they represent, and how they all interact with each other, they can head to the track to try out the feature."

In the video above, you can check out more about how BDA will work in Forza Motorsport. The game will be released for PC, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox Cloud Gaming sometime later this year.
