AbleGamers introduces the Freedom Wing Adapter to help power wheelchair gamers control their Xbox

More accessibility options for those who want to get into the game

With just an Xbox Adaptive Controller and a little soldering work, you can get a power wheelchair to control and Xbox. Charity foundation AbleGamers and AT Makers have debuted the Freedom Wing Adapter, a device that will integrate with power wheelchairs and the XAC to give control for games on a variety of platforms, starting with Xbox and PC.

Introducing The Freedom Wing Adapter!

In partnership with @at_makers, together we've created the first of its kind adapter to allow a power wheelchair to control your Xbox.

And we're going to release it to the world for free.

Accessibility to games is increasingly important, as more of us are into the hobby (lifestyle, really) and we’re not all built the same. AbleGamers has done phenomenal work to bridge that gap and allow more people the ability to play. And with the FWA, it can only be that much more positive. In fact, AbleGamers is giving them away, for free, to those who need it.
