Here's a quick summary of how the day unfolded: 721g18

We started the day by attending the UKIE day which was full of insightful s and talks from a wide variety of industry professionals including our very own Peter King ( EVP Business Development ) discussing game funding and publishing.

It was truly inspiring to see so many faces new & old in the UK video gaming profession all coming together for the day to learn from one another. It's been tough for many but it's reassuringly the talent assembled under one roof, shows we will prevail as an industry.

As one of the sponsors of the evening awards, our very own Ian McGregor (CMO) gave a positive opening speech to get the evening started.

We also sponsored the UKIE 2025 Best PC Game award. 6a4k3c
