The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps her Department is taking to help support growth in the video game industry.

Answered by Chris Bryant

The Government recently announced £5.5 million funding for the UK Games Fund (UKGF) for 2025/26, which will provide grants to early-stage studios to develop new intellectual property and deliver the graduate talent development programmes Tranzfuser and Dundee Development (DunDev).

Video games companies can also benefit from the Video Games Expenditure Credit, and access support from the Create Growth Programme and the UK Global Screen Fund.
