Today marks nine years since the UK Games Fund was established. Since 2015, more than £20 million has been raised for the UK games development sector.
Looking back over the past nine years, the UK Games Fund has run 15 rounds of open calls for applications from indie devs, with thousands of submissions received. Over 400 projects have been supported with grant support.
Tranzfuser, our graduate development competition with a direct link to the Prototype Fund, has seen hundreds of talented entrepreneurial early-stage developers improve their professional skills and greatly improve their confidence.
The Content Fund, set up just over a year ago, has seen phenomenal demand from over 300 developers from across the UK for grants £50,000 – £150,000.
And DunDev, our hothousing residential project for high potential teams, has welcomed passionate studios to the heart of one of the UK’s games development hubs – Dundee.
Funded companies continue to work on their projects as well as take on new work, helping to secure the UK’s future as an innovative driver in the global economy.
The UK Games Fund retain a close working relationship with trade bodies, local industry leaders and the wider games development sector.
