2020 was a year like no other. But while the planet struggled with the pandemic, developers continued to create and support incredible games to keep billions around the world entertained in these dark days.
That’s why we decided, with encouragement from our partner Virtuos, that now was a great time to bring back the DEVELOP 100, in order to recognise these efforts. For those unfamiliar, it’s a simple concept: a list of the top 100 most successful studios in the world.
Months of work later, and in partnership with the best data providers available – huge thanks to Famitsu, GSD, NPD and Sensor Tower – we have created an authoritative list of the most successful game developers over the last 12 months – using data from November 2019 to October 2020.
