GAMES: ARTS | DESIGN | PROGRAMMING
The revenue generated from the Games Industry has now overtaken the combined total of the Film and Music Industry, proving that the Games industry is a juggernaut within the entertainment industry and continues to move from strength to strength. As the market continues to grow, with the launch of new hardware such as the PS5 and Xbox Series consoles, established studios continue to grow and new studios are regularly forming.
