Green Man Gaming were honoured to be sponsors of the UKIE awards 2025. Here's a quick summary of how the day unfolded:

We started the day by attending the UKIE members day which was full of insightful panels and talks from a wide variety of industry professionals including our very own Peter King ( EVP Business Development ) discussing game funding and publishing.

It was truly inspiring to see so many faces new & old in the UK video gaming profession all coming together for the day to learn from one another. It's been tough for many but it's reassuringly the talent assembled under one roof, shows we will prevail as an industry.

The role of UKIE has always been key in the growth & overall success of the industry and is as equally important now as it was then.

As one of the sponsors of the evening awards, our very own Ian McGregor (CMO) gave a positive opening speech to get the evening started.

We also sponsored the UKIE 2025 Best PC Game award. Huge congratulations to all the nominees but especially to the winners Coal Supper with 'Thank Goodness You're Here!'.
