Great to be at the Manchester Games Network launch yesterday 🎮

It was brilliant to see Golf Clash featured in the opening trailer alongside so many other games developed here in Manchester. It's a real reminder of the creativity and talent in the region.

The event was a fantastic opportunity to connect with universities, studios, and fellow gaming professionals, as well as meet new faces, share ideas, and explore potential collaborations across the local ecosystem.

There’s clearly a strong momentum building in Manchester’s games industry, and it’s exciting to see a network dedicated to supporting growth, fostering collaboration, and showcasing the city on a global stage.

Looking forward to seeing how the Manchester Games Network evolves and continues to champion the incredible work coming out of this community. 🐝

It was great to be back at The University of Manchester SODA last week, where our team from EA Playdemic spent time with the next generation of game talent.

Pete (EA Senior Recruiter), Joe (EA Playdemic Designer), and Jean Pierre (EA Playdemic 3D artist) joined students for a day focused on portfolio reviews and career insights. Joe and Jean Pierre met with Game Art and Game Design students throughout the day, offering detailed feedback and guidance on their work, while Pete delivered an insightful session on breaking into the gaming industry and landing that first role.

Events like these are incredibly valuable. They give students direct access to industry professionals, real-world feedback, and a clearer understanding of what studios are looking for. That kind of exposure can make a meaningful difference as they prepare to take their first steps into the industry.

If you’d like our team to visit your university for a similar event, feel free to send us a DM.

We recently welcomed the wonderful team from Paws in Work to EA Manchester. It’s safe to say they brought a lot of joy with them 🐾

Paws in Work (UK’s only fully licensed provider) specialise in therapeutic puppy sessions designed to support workplace wellbeing. Spending time with these calm, friendly dogs can help reduce stress, boost mood, and encourage people to take a mindful break from their day.

Across a series of sessions, teams from Playdemic, Criterion and EA had the chance to unwind, connect, and enjoy some time with a group of adorable long-haired Chihuahua puppies (who were definitely the stars of the show!).

The impact was immediate - plenty of smiles, a calmer atmosphere, and a great reminder of the importance of taking time to recharge.

A big thank you to our Workplace Experience team for organising such a thoughtful event, and to the Paws in Work team for creating such a positive experience for everyone involved.
