The Develop 100 has been published by Develop since 2005 – over the years we have chronicled the best studios in the globe based on a variety of metrics – retail revenues, review scores, industry reputation and so on.

Last year we published two volumes. Click here to download 2012’s edition, which features a top 100 of global developers based on UK retail revenue, and a ranking of the world’s best 100 games based on critic vote. You can view it in your browser or on iPad completely free.

Earlier this we published our Develop 100 UK Studio Hot List, detailing the top companies in the UK based on heritage & reputation; commercial success; creativity & product; and potential.

We also included a comprehensive guide to over 500 studios in the industry today, with information on where to find them, and when they were founded. You can read it through your browser or on your iPad completely free.

Another volume of the 2013 Develop 100 will be published later in the year.

The Develop 100 is brought to you in association with UKIE, the trade body for the UK games industry.
