Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure that skilled video game developers and producers remain in the United Kingdom.

The Government is committed to supporting the growth of the UK’s video games sector, which brings economic, cultural and social benefits across the UK.

The Video Games Expenditure Credit continues to make the UK one of the leading destinations in the world for making video games, offering companies credit equal to 34% of their qualifying expenditure.

The Government has also announced £5.5 million funding for the UK Games Fund (UKGF) for 2025/26, which will provide grants to early-stage studios across the UK to develop prototypes and new intellectual property, and run development programmes for new graduates.

Additionally, video games companies can benefit from the UK Global Screen Fund for international business development, and access support from the Create Growth Programme.
