Centered around Malmö, the game development industry in South Sweden is home to one of the world’s foremost game development clusters, known for its high-quality and innovative games, and strong IPs. The region features actors from all around the game ecosystem, such as AAA and indie studios, education, service providers, publishers, and investors. Studios in the region develop games for all platforms and in all genres. 

Being a small town, yet Sweden’s third largest, Malmö has one of the highest concentrations of game developers and studios in the world. Game developers are visible throughout the city and region, and the chance of colleagues from the industry bumping into one another is high. Six of Sweden’s ten largest game studios have offices in Malmö, and three of the world’s largest game developer companies have subsidiaries here, Microsoft/Activision Blizzard through King, Ubisoft through Massive Entertainment, and Tencent through Sharkmob.
