Read how the UK games market reached its highest point for six years in the latest MCV

The latest MCV is available now and we reveal how the UK games market jumped dramatically with growth across almost every category.

In collaboration with UKIE, the study reveals how the market rose by 20 per cent in the last 12 months alone to reach its highest point in six years.

We also have a comprehensive introduction to the market’s most lucrative market that most of the industry doesn’t have a clue about: MOBAs. We look back at the origins of the genre and how the market’s biggest publishers are making their way into the sector.

Elsewhere we have our annual E3 Guide, which includes survival tips, predictions and a timetable for all of the show’s conferences and presentations. ESA SVP Rich Taylor explains what should be expected from this year’s show.
