Studios are reconsidering certain in-game features due to the new rules set out by the UK Online Safety Act (OSA), a top law firm has said. In an interview published on September 11, 2025, The Game Business spoke to Isabel Davies, a senior associate at London-based law firm Wiggin, which specialises in media, technology, and IP, about how the new OSA laws are impacting game studios.

"If you’re a user-to-user service, you have to do this risk assessment and then complete your safety duties.
