The UK Games Industry Census 2021 offers a detailed snapshot of the people driving one of the country’s most creative and innovative sectors. It reveals key insights into the demographics, working practices, and lived experiences of games industry professionals, helping to shape a more inclusive and representative sector.
The findings highlight positive progress in diversity, with an increase in women and non-binary professionals, as well as more representation from LGBTQ+ communities. However, the Census also identifies areas where further action is needed, including ethnic diversity, accessibility, and mental health support.
The data serves as a powerful tool for driving change. By understanding the challenges and opportunities facing the workforce, the industry can take evidence-based steps to promote equality, improve working conditions, and create a more welcoming environment for all.
At Ukie, we are committed to using this insight to support diversity and inclusion initiatives, including through Raise The Game, which encourages studios to build more inclusive workplaces. The Census is more than just data, it’s a catalyst for meaningful action, helping to shape a fairer and stronger UK games industry.
