PAX Australia 2026 Panel Recording + Transcript - Beyond a Checklist: Does Accessibility Make Games Better?

At Starcore we endeavour to centre people in all that we do. Which is why we were super excited to be hosting a panel at PAX Australia 2026 entitled Beyond a Checklist: Does Accessibility Make Games Better?

Joining us in the discussion were Jess Rowlings, Salem Vande, and Jack Dow.

The panel brought together developers, content makers, researchers and gamers, some with disabilities, to dive into the ways accessibility can improve your games for everyone.

This is the audio recording of the great conversation.
