Why the World's Most Ambitious Game Studios Are Choosing This Mediterranean Island
There is a conversation happening right now in game studios and boardrooms from Toronto to Tokyo, from Stockholm to Seoul. It is a conversation about where to base the next chapter of a company's growth. Where the talent pipeline is strong, the regulatory environment is clear, the tax framework is competitive, and the quality of life is the kind that keeps a creative team motivated, energised and present. For a growing number of the world's most serious game development companies, that conversation keeps arriving at the same answer: Malta.
I have spent twenty-three years working in and around the gaming industry, and I can say with confidence that what is happening in Malta right now is not a moment. It is a movement. The island has made a deliberate, sustained and well-resourced decision to become one of the world's premier destinations for game development, and it is working.
