This is great!
Would be cool to expand this to more general preferences as well such as allowing a user to set their preferred theme (dark/light) etc. and allow games to use this data to personalize the experience.

Still waiting for developers to be able to access what the players graphics quality/estimated device power is even if they have automatic turned on, especially if Roblox is going down the route of allowing settings to transfer between games and developers to be able to change things based on these settings

This is a welcoming change to see, I’ll try and implement this API into all my upcoming experiences! One concern I do have is the placement of these settings, it appears as if the “Settings” menu is getting filled up with too many settings to the point that scrolling down to these new settings is a nuance and clicking the wrong setting is becoming all to common for me.
One thing I will also bring up is a UX-issue that this new API has brought up in my experience. I used to always provide players with a “Reduced Motion” option in my in-experience settings menu however now because of this new API I have a major decision to make. Removing the option is not ideal because players who are unaware of the built-in setting will lose the accessibility setting without any-notice, however keeping it creates a bit of nuance too: If a player has one of the settings on (in-experience or Roblox) yet the other one off; which one do I respect, could it be confusing to players to show a different value in my in-experience settings to the Roblox menu or vice-versa? I guess this is more of a problem for me to deal with now, as I have to weight the impact of a confusing menu vs disabling the option that many players may have intentionally selected to enable.
It also appears as if the old CoreGui (which is still available to some users, especially in Studio) does not respect these settings:

At first, I thought you could change the Transparency of the whole UI, but it can just be changed to be opaque. (The value can be used in the opposite way I know, but that will be confusing for players)
What I mean is that some players want to make some stuff transparent instead of opaque to have a clear view.
In my game stuff are Opaque by default, and I have a setting to make it all transparent.

Hope you’re aware of this. Seems to be directly tied to this update.

This extends further than just “consoles”, any user with the old CoreGui will have the CoreGui mess up like this upon changing the accessibility setting.

It would be great if we had a debugging tool for accessibility, for example, being able to simulate different color blindness’s to see how our game would look like to someone with variety of vision problems. Chrome Dev Tools have it:

It’s funny how they used the old Topbar UI. Didn’t you want to showcase the totally rad 58 pixel Topbar? Was it messing up the UI for your showcase experience perhaps?
Regardless, Glad you’re expanding the settings capabilities.

Thank you for making the buttons green and not black and white

This is a step in the right direction for accessibility options!
I think colorblindness options (or at least ways for developers to easily implement them) would be a great next step.

Love the update, but perhaps with the numerous additions of new settings, similar settings can be categorized or grouped together (like what others have mentioned above). In other games, accessibility settings usually have its own dedicated place in the settings area.

Very cool stuff! Will we ever have the option to customize the theme of the UI? I’m not a huge fan of how dark the current menu is, more of a light mode kind of guy.
