Ukie 2021 Annual Review

The Ukie Annual Review 2021 reflects a year of resilience, innovation, and growth for the UK games industry. Despite the challenges of the global pandemic, the sector continued to thrive, driving economic growth, creating jobs, and bringing world-class entertainment to millions.

Throughout 2021, Ukie remained at the forefront, championing the interests of the industry. From delivering impactful policy campaigns and supporting businesses through Brexit-related changes, to promoting diversity through Raise The Game and helping companies navigate new regulations, we provided essential advocacy and practical support.

The review also highlights our work in education and skills development, including expanding Digital Schoolhouse, which introduced more young people to the creative and technical skills behind games. We also celebrated the return of in-person events, reconnecting the industry through trade missions, showcases, and networking opportunities.

As the sector continues to evolve, Ukie remains committed to empowering games businesses, promoting inclusivity, and positioning the UK as a global leader in games and interactive entertainment. The 2021 review underscores the industry’s strength and the collective efforts driving it forward.
