"A decline of unprecedented scale and speed" is hitting UK game development, trade association report finds
The UK games industry is experiencing a significant decline in development jobs and studio numbers, according to a report by TIGA. The trade association highlights a loss of 1,537 development jobs in the year ending September 2025, the first downturn in 14 years, and a decrease in active companies. TIGA attributes this to factors including sluggish global sales, poor access to finance, and calls for increased government tax relief.
