Learners who complete the path receive a shareable virtual badge that certifies completion.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Accessibility Best Practices for Games and Platforms">
    A summary of the guidance in the XBOX Accessibility Guidelines, how each XAG is structured, and how to navigate the XAGs to find guidance for your specific game features.

  <Step title="Accessibility Best Practices for Gaming Hardware">
    For hardware and peripheral developers — design approaches for bespoke accessibility products (like the [XBOX Adaptive Controller](/build/game-principles/accessibility/accessibility-resources#xbox-adaptive-controller-xac)) as well as for standard controllers, consoles, headsets, and packaging.
