“England carries a proud history of producing innovative, inspiring, and influential video games for more than 30 years,” said Crossley. “I could not be more delighted to join Creative England as it looks to support and collaborate with the country’s next generation of bold and brilliant games creators.

“With my experience I want to further unify Creative England with the industry, find the best undiscovered talent, and use my knowledge in publishing to help our partners break through the noise and turn heads.”
