As with prior years there is no fee for inclusion in the 2026 Access-Ability Summer Showcase for selected titles.
I can, in limited circumstances, produce trailers on a developer's behalf if doing so is a barrier to inclusion, and they discuss this with me in advance.

For developers - May 1st is the latest date I will consider submissions of games to be included in the showcase, with May 15th the final date for trailer submission.
There is no wiggle room on the trailer submission date, due to needing to produce ASL, BSL, and Audio Described showcase versions.

If you're in the UK, have had your eye on a Steam Deck for a while now and have been waiting to pull the trigger, this might be the time to go for it. It's still in stock in the UK but it looks like it's either about to be sold out everywhere for a while, or get more expensive.
Steam Deck is currently out of stock in the US, as Valve warns of memory and storage shortages.

If you regularly enjoy Access-Ability as a series, it would be hugely helpful if you could check if you're subscribed on YouTube, Subscribe if you're not, and turn on notifications if you're so inclined.
Also, leaving a comment on episodes you watch makes a huge difference, even if super short.

Relooted is not only a neat puzzle game with grand heists and a charming cast, but also a challenge to who owns and tells African history. Plus, it's one of the few games to capture Africa's diversity well, pulling artifacts from all across the continent. My review:
