# V2 Accessibility Report This VPAT-style report maps V2 accessibility commitments to implemented feature contracts, settings surfaces, and verification gates. The report is maintained with the `FV2AccessibilityFeatureSet` contract and must be updated whenever a feature is added, removed, renamed, or region-gated. ## Scope The covered surfaces are in-game menus, HUD, subtitles, captions, input rebinding, assist settings, online voice/text chat, cinematics, training and loading flows, handheld/mobile-cloud battery profiles, and public-facing settings documentation. Accessibility compliance testing through `AccessibilityComplianceTesting` maps those surfaces to Xbox Accessibility Guidelines and Game Accessibility Guidelines evidence. ## Implemented Feature

execution, game speed, or CPU behavior disables ranked eligibility unless the assist is explicitly certified as gameplay-inert. - `PuzzleSkipOption` is opt-in, story-only, and offers a confirmed narrative summary skip after configured attempts or elapsed time while preserving rewards and remaining blocked in ranked or tournament play. - `ObjectiveClaritySystem` is opt-in, quest/story scoped, and only changes UI guidance for clear waypoints, highlighted interactables, simplified descriptions, and screen-reader objective summaries. - `TutorialReplaySystem` exposes every interactive tutorial lesson from main menu and single-player pause menu paths, bypasses first-encounter gates, and does not reset profile progress. - The photosensitivity limiter applies to KO slow motion, X-Ray cinematics, and lightning-style VFX before content review signoff. - Every audio-only gameplay cue must have a paired visual and haptic cue. - The sign-language overlay is default off and opt-in per account. - CVAA voice/text-chat support must be validated per platform before release. - Battery and thermal overrides must disclose the risk before allowing sustained throttle override. ## Release Gate Accessibility changes pass when: - `python3 V2/ue/Tools/check-v2-accessibility-feature-set.py` passes; - `python3 V2/ue/Tools/check-v2-accessibility-compliance-testing.py` passes; - `V2.UI.Module` automation passes; - docs validation passes; - settings QA verifies preview/try-it, focus visibility, text scaling, and no-overlap layouts for default, large-text, and high-contrast states; - platform QA validates adaptive-controller and voice/chat compliance paths for the target platform set.
