Game Drive is a business accelerator program aimed at creating more opportunities for the growth and development of the next generation of talented game developers

MY.GAMES continues to contribute to the gaming industry’s development, implementing large-scale projects for the growth and progress of the global game developer community, with Game Drive being its flagship program. The third season of Game Drive, led by MGVC, the investment division of MY.GAMES, brings together the largest players in the gaming market, with AWS for Games, the games-focused AWS division, joining Google as one of the lead partners, along with data.ai, Unity experts, and Deconstructor of Fun.

This season, Game Drive adopts a new format, comprising a series of educational and networking offline and online events, and a call for project submissions open throughout the entire year. The first online event will take place on May 11th and the first offline event will take place on May 23rd in Malmö, Sweden, as a part of the Nordic Game Conference.

This new approach will enable more promising studios to participate in the program and receive free consulting services, including expert evaluation, key metrics analysis, recommendations on step-by-step improvements, as well as advice on scaling and international expansion from MY.GAMES, Google, AWS for Games, data.ai, Unity, and Deconstructor of Fun experts.
