"Supporting the video games industry in the UK through this new tax break is great news both for the industry and the wider economy. The UK has an international reputation for creating some of the very best games. Talented UK games professionals are at the heart of the global industry and are key to the financial success of many internationally renowned games companies both in the UK and abroad.
"The global games industry grosses more than the box office and the UK the film industry is already recognised for its contribution to the UK economy and culture through tax breaks. This move recognises the economic and cultural contribution made by the games industry which is set to be the driving force of media in the 21st century. Helping the UK games industry will help the UK retain talent and create more original content and technical innovations."
