The Government has recently published the Creative Industries Sector Plan which will make the UK the number one place for creativity and innovation by 2035.

The plan includes a commitment that UKRI will lead efforts to increase public funding for the creative industries.

The plan identifies video games as a priority growth sector, with a new Games Growth Package worth £30 million over three years.
