Creative Wales — Games Development Fund

What it is

Non-repayable grant of £10,000–£50,000 for Wales-headquartered businesses developing video games or immersive content for commercial release — but the 2025/26 round closed on 5 June 2025 and no new round had been announced as of 21 Aug 2026. Creative Wales could support up to 100% of eligible costs while prioritising applications leveraging match funding; one application per company.

Re-verified 2026-08-31: this specific 2025/26 Games Development Fund remains closed. The funder's own Creative Wales/UK Games Fund page for the newer Games Scale Up Fund for Wales also says funding is now closed for new submissions and is supplied for reference only; it is a distinct fund with £50k-£150k amounts, not this record. Prior funder PDF check for this row remains: 2025/26 round opened 24 Apr 2025, application deadline 12:00 midday 5 Jun 2025, no late applications; £10k-£50k; up to 100% of eligible costs but match funding prioritised; applicants must be headquartered in Wales, produce commercial digital content, and have been trading before 1 Apr 2024. ⚠️ ingest normalisation 2026-08-24: match-funding gate corrected to in[yes,partial].
