Like other businesses, the video games industry benefited from Energy Bill Relief Scheme support and will continue to be provided a baseline discount under Energy Bills Discount Scheme if eligible.

The Government is also supporting UK SMEs in dealing with cost-of-living pressures by cutting fuel duty for 12 months as well as helping businesses with £6bn of investment in energy efficiency. The Government would encourage all businesses to do what they can to improve their energy efficiency.
