Great Britain boasts one of the biggest video games industries in the world, with national game revenues ranking sixth in the world. For a nation of such a small population, compared to the likes of China, the United States, and Japan, standing so highly in game revenues shows how popular the entertainment medium has become in the UK.
With so much interest, in gaming, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that there are several game developers in the UK. What might come as a surprise is how many of them rank among the best in the world. Rockstar North, based in Edinburgh, created Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption II, Traveller’s Tales in Knutsford make the LEGO games, and the London-based Sports Interactive creatives the eternally popular Football Manager series.
