The UK Games Fund has announced its largest group of funded companies since its launch in 2015. 29 independent studios across the UK have received grants of up to £100,000 through the expanded Prototype Fund. "Following the reopening of applications for the Prototype Fund [in April], we received a strong response from highly talented teams developing ambitious and innovative projects," said UK Games Fund director Kirsty Gibson. It allocated an additional £28.5 million to the UK Games Fund to be distributed over the next three years and committed £1.5 million to the London Games Festival. Alongside the Prototype Fund, the Starter Fund offers grants of up to £20,000, and the Content Fund provides up to £250,000 to support project completion and studio growth.
