Game jobs in Wales

Working in games in Wales

The Welsh games industry is smaller than those of England and Scotland but has grown steadily, concentrated mainly along the south coast. Cardiff is the main centre, with studios such as Rocket Science and the immersive and AR specialist Sugar Creative, and the city’s wider film and television production sector creates crossover for artists, animators and audio staff.

Swansea has a cluster of independent developers and games courses at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David, while the University of South Wales and Cardiff Metropolitan University also train people for the industry. Wales Interactive, the publisher behind several interactive film games, is based in Pencoed near Bridgend.

Creative Wales, the Welsh Government’s agency for the creative industries, supports games companies with funding and trade-show presence. Studios in Wales tend to be small or mid-sized, so many roles involve covering a broad area rather than a narrow specialism. Remote and hybrid listings open to Welsh candidates appear across the site too. See the UK games hubs guide for more.
