Gaming Without Limits
Esports is for everyone. We're committed to making competitive gaming truly inclusive.
OUR ACCESSIBILITY MISSION
At 1UP Esports, we believe that true competition is about skill, strategy, and passion, not physical ability. We are actively dismantling barriers to entry by providing accessible tournament formats, advocating for adaptive hardware standards, and fostering a community where every player can thrive.
Inclusive Tournaments
We offer modified rule sets and flexible timing to accommodate players who require assistive technologies, ensuring a level playing field without compromising competitive integrity.
Community & Advocacy
Our platform connects gamers with disabilities to share setups, strategies, and support. We actively advocate for developers to include comprehensive accessibility options in modern titles.
Adaptive Partnerships
We partner with hardware manufacturers and accessibility charities to test, review, and promote specialised gaming peripherals that meet the rigorous demands of esports.
EQUIPMENT ADAPTED FOR OPTIMUM GAMING
Discover the cutting-edge adaptive hardware and specialised equipment that empowers players of all abilities to compete at the highest level.
COMPETING WITH 1UP: PLAY YOUR WAY
We officially support and permit a wide range of adaptive hardware in our tournaments. If your specific setup isn't listed, or if you require software-level accommodations (like high-contrast modes, colourblind filters, or custom mapping software), we will review and approve your setup before competition day.
