London Games Festival 2023 starts Wednesday 29 March and runs until Saturday 8 April.
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan today committed over £1m in funding to Games London, the city’s ground-breaking programme supporting the video games sector.

The funding from the Greater London Authority will support Games London’s programme of events and activities for the next three years, up to 2025. Games London’s programme will generate revenue for UK games businesses, create jobs, boost skills and training, and amplify the cultural impact of video games and interactive entertainment.

London is now the largest cluster for games studios in Europe, with over 500 businesses in the city making and supporting games across mobile, PC and console. Since its founding in 2015 Games London has generated over £75m for participants which has led to the creation of 700 jobs – through flagship one-of-a-kind events like the Games Finance Market, the wider London Games Festival, inbound and outbound trade missions plus agenda-setting programmes like Ensemble and the Games London Accelerator.

More events and programming – including the LGF Official Selection and details on Ensemble 2023/2024 – will be revealed in November.
