Our Sea of Thieves Accessibility Report documents 27 accessibility features:
As it is an online game difficulty is determined by other players, the game aims to match your current ability.

In-game characters and narrative are voiced. Screen Reader: Supports Xbox screen reader when navigating menus in the game. Text Chat: Can adjust the size of text chat.

Nautical Narration is a feature to help players navigate the seas using their handheld compass or ship-mounted compass, announcing the direction being faced when ‘Let Games Read to Me’ is enabled.

There are four different options for game action narration, when enabled, Nautical Narration reads out the cardinal direction of your compass, like "North" or "East-South-East". It even tells you when you're in a storm and your compass is spinning unhelpfully:

• One Shot Narration means the direction your pirate is facing will be narrated once when using the compass. When using the ship’s wheel, players will need to press E on the keyboard or the Y button on a controller to narrate the ship’s current direction. This can be rebound within the game settings.
• Continuous will narrate the direction your pirate is facing as you turn while using the compass.
• Continuous When Equipped will continually narrate direction without the player needing to raise the compass. The delay between narration can be configured within the Accessibility Settings.

You can select a high contrast X marker for treasure. There's a colour blind friendly mode with customisable filters. Lock on prompts: The temporary interaction prompts can be made to be permanently in view. Voice chat shows which party member is speaking by showing their name, but enemy player locations aren't shown. Enemy NPCs audio direction is also not shown.

The game uses audio to identify where in-game events are happening (like boarding your ship). This enables you to know from the audio which side the boarding is happening on. When players die a long way away, you can hear a ping that relates to their distance and indicates the hit.

Speech to Text: Voice Chat sent to your player converted to Text and displayed as Text Chat Notifications, although only in the United States configured systems. Text to Speech: Via the platform feature, your Text Chat and Phrases read aloud to other players, only currently available in United States configured systems.

If the user interface narration for menus does not make it easy to find the information you want (such as in-game reputation/character levels), you can use the profile section of the Sea Of Thieves website: to see that same information.
