The Yorkshire games industry has consistently punched above its weight in the global market, producing incredible titles over the last 40 years including Monty Mole, Broken Sword, Worms, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, Sackboy: A Big Adventure and many, many more.

In fact Game Republic, to celebrate our 20th birthday this year, is having a public vote to decide which game is the best ever game from Yorkshire and the North – an incredibly difficult task with so many great games to choose from.

Another key challenge for companies in our region – other than investment and funding – is access to talent, and with Brexit making it more difficult for our companies to get skilled people from the EU to work here in Yorkshire combined with the competition for talent from other industries such as tech, finance and gambling, the games industry has had to work harder and faster to get the right people to fill job vacancies.
