Resumo: The act of playing is a way for the player to be in the world and to understand what is around her, to experience different realities and to identify herself with the discussions provided by the game. Used as a generator of meanings for society and for people, games can be understood as artifacts that must be accessible to all members of society, particularly digital games, considering they are one of the most comprehensive technologies nowadays, through which social, cultural, political and economic discussions are held. Reflecting on the sociocultural role of digital games and their relevance to people, arises the question about people with disabilities, how these people use digital games, how they are represented in digital games, and how they are engaged in the process of digital games development. In this sense, the present research uses Critical Analysis as the main method to conduct discussions about the stages of concept and elaboration of the fundamental elements of inclusive digital games for gameplay, from the perspective of people with disabilities in the light of Embodied Interaction theory. Thus, considering the principles of inclusion to address the elements of games and articulate the stages of development of inclusive digital games with Embodied Interaction, argue, in this research, how new concepts and perspectives can contribute to support the design of games towards the inclusion of people with disabilities, not only as players, but also as characters and game developers. These perceptions provide new ways of thinking and developing inclusive digital games, so that in the construction of these artifacts are considered the repercussion of the use of games in society, which occurs through the representations, values and meanings expressed by the games.
