Read MCV’s bumper final issue of the year for free

It’s almost time for Christmas, but before team MCV packs up and spends the next few weeks eating our body weight in mince pies, we have one last treat for you.

It’s our bumper final issue of the year and it’s rammed with data, insight, interviews and analysis.

We spoke to well over 100 video game retailers for our industry survey, where store managers review the year just gone and offer their predictions on what the biggest games and consoles of 2015 will be.

We have a tonne of interviews, including industry legend Ian Livingstone, Sony’s indie development expert Shahid Ahmad, Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer experts Adam Bhatti and Erik Bladinieres, King co-founder Sebastian Knutsson, Space Ape Games’ John Earner and Frozen publisher Avanquest’s Simon Reynolds.

Plus! We have insight from Sony’s Fergal Gara and data specialist Kantar Worldpanel.

And that’s only some of the content. And it’s all free. You can read it online here.
