Game Academy

Personal development programmes for gamers

We are powered by leading-edge research & tech. We’ve looked at the games, skills and careers of over 50,000 players.

We’ve analysed the top 500 games on Steam, made ground-breaking links between players’ skills and the careers that use them, and published the research alongside the University Of Reading.

Game Academy was founded in 2019 by a group of gamers working in the creative industries, education, HR, games industry and quantum technology.

We are passionately committed to helping gamers make the most of their 
in-game talent out of game.
