Launched during Pocket Gamer Connects London 2025, we’ve crafted a brand new list to celebrate the UK’s creative games industry talent: The Top 50 UK Game Makers.
The UK games industry has a long history, establishing itself as one of the most well-respected game development hubs in the world, with its influence spreading far and wide. And it’s still going strong today.
This list (in a similar format to PocketGamer.biz's Top 50 Mobile Game Makers 2024 list) aims to promote some of the country’s top developers and publishers across all platforms, taking into account factors like creativity, stature and yes, business success, reflecting studios of all sizes.
The vast array of company types in the UK is as impressive as their number. We’ve highlighted small indie teams that have worked on innovative and inspiring new titles, right to the studios that have been acquired for billions of dollars and have launched some of the biggest games of all time. In one case, perhaps the biggest.
Despite restricting the criteria of the list to the UK, it’s impossible to include all the best teams – for that, we’d need a lot more than 50 entries. A big congratulations to those that made it onto the list. Even outside the top 50, it’s clear the UK games industry has a remarkable abundance of talent.
