<p>The video games industry is a great success story and we are committed to promoting
its growth. Companies in the sector have received some £119 million from the UK’s
video games tax relief since its introduction in 2014. Additionally our UK Games Fund
has supported more than 60 games projects and our funding for the programme has recently
been extended to 2020. The games sector will also benefit from the Government’s new
transformative £33 million “Audience of the Future” strand of the Industrial Strategy
Challenge Fund.</p><p> </p><p>We are continuing to work with other Government Departments,
public organisations and representatives from industry to consider what else we can
do to drive growth in the games sector and the wider creative industries, including
as part of the planned sector deal.</p>
