On Tuesday, March 17 at 11:35 a.m. \u2013 12:15 p.m. PT, <\/strong>Xbox will host and stream a special panel focused on the importance of inclusivity in game design. Titled \u201cIntentionally Inclusive Design: Building a Welcoming Future in Games,\u201d<\/strong> the panel will feature relevant takeaways and tips for anyone who makes games, and will be streamed live via Mixer<\/a> (includes closed captioning), GameStack.com<\/a>, YouTube<\/a> and Twitter<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Why is inclusive game design important? With more than 2
\nbillion gamers worldwide, a \u201ctypical gamer\u201d simply doesn\u2019t exist; gamers come
\nfrom a variety of backgrounds and have differing interests and abilities. As an
\nindustry, it\u2019s important that gaming is welcoming to all who want to play.
\nBecause at Xbox, we believe that when everyone can play, we all win.<\/p>\n

Hosted by Katy Jo Wright, Director of Gaming for Everyone at
\nXbox, the panel will discuss how technology and community can come together to
\nmake gaming better for everybody. Panelists represent AAA to independent game development
\nstudios and will share their unique experiences implementing inclusive design
\ninto the creation of titles including Forza Horizon 4 <\/em>and Tell Me Why:<\/em><\/p>\n
