Introduction
Scotland has long been known for its rich cultural heritage, stunning landscapes, and famous exports like whiskey and tartan. However, in recent years, a new industry has emerged in Scotland that is making waves around the world: the video game industry.
Booming Industry
According to the Scottish Games Network, the Scottish games industry is booming, with over 100 game development studios operating in the country, generating over £100 million in annual revenue. The industry employs over 2,000 people directly and supports an additional 4,000 jobs indirectly.
Talent Pool and Government Support
So, what makes the Scottish games industry so attractive? For one, it benefits from a strong talent pool, thanks to the country’s world-class universities and colleges, which offer degrees and programs in computer science, game design, and other related fields.
In addition, the Scottish government has been actively supporting the growth of the games industry through various initiatives, such as the Scottish Video Games Tax Relief, which offers a 25% tax break on production costs. This has helped to attract new game development studios to Scotland, as well as incentivize existing studios to expand their operations.
