After a busy #WestminsterGamesWeek, spending this week catching up with stakeholders and preparing for the next couple of months. It continues to be a complex time for games, with some new data pointing to a more positive picture for both recruitment and revenue.

One of the best things about taking up my role at Ukie has been the opportunity to expand my video game repertoire. This week, I have been immersing myself in the beautiful, spiralling non-linear world of #OuterWilds on Game Pass
