A major moment came in 2018, with the release of Microsoft's Xbox Adaptive Controller that opened a new world of gaming possibilities. Unlike most traditional sports, a physical disability doesn’t leave a professional gamer all but exempt from competing at the highest levels. This equalizer saw a quadriplegic Fortnite streamer recently sign an esports deal with Luminosity Gaming. The first paralysed gamer to sign with a major gaming company.
