Video Game Business Snapshot 

Updated for Q2 2025, the Video Game Business Snapshot, formerly The Project & Studio Financing Snapshot, provides the business outlook on two main methods of video game financing, project and studio, from our business development and investment services teams.

Coming out of DICE and GDC, the industry is continuing to show cautious optimism. While both project and studio financing remain low, our outlook for both is slight warming. For project financing, there are opportunities for co-development support, signing content for the upcoming Switch 2, and other publishing opportunities. For the studio financing side, there is some funding opportunities available, but investors are being cautious and may expect a bargain for their capital.

We hope you find it to be useful. If you have any feedback, we’d love to hear it.
