We’re happy to announce that Sumo Group has won two prestigious accolades at the 2023 TIGA Games Industry Awards.

Sumo Group scooped the Talent Development award, given to a games company that contributes to the future supply of good quality personnel available to work in the games industry – as well as being nominated for the Commitment to Workplace Wellbeing Award, Commitment to ESG Award, and Employer of the Year 2023 – while Sumo Digital triumphed in the Best Large Studio award category, which recognises studios that develop great games and has a track record of commercial and critical success.
