Since 2004, Neogames has conducted a study on the Finnish Game Industry almost every other year, and this 2024 study represents 20 years of coverage of the development of the Finnish Game Industry. Over the years, the Finnish Game Industry has experienced significant growth and has also proven its ability to adapt to an ever-changing global game market. The ability to adapt has been tested, especially over the last couple of years, due to multiple changes in both the industry itself and the surrounding society and operational environment. In 2024, the Finnish Game Industry ranks among the top five largest national game industries in Europe by turnover and is a European leader in mobile game development.
In this study, Neogames interviewed 71 game studios (26% of the studio base) that employed 3,160 employees (86% of the industry's employees as of the end of 2024). We also gathered additional information from public business registers and other means of business intelligence. This study contains full or partial information on 141 game studios (52% of the studio base) and should provide a comprehensive summary of the Finnish Game Industry at the end of 2024.
A total of 50 game companies, all members of Suomen Pelinkehittäjät ry (Finnish Game Developer Studios Association), are introduced on the studio profile section. The most relevant local game industry hubs and public support organizations are also featured. We wish to thank everyone who has participated in this process. Special thanks to Suomen Pelinkehittäjät ry (Finnish Game Developer Studios Association) and Business Finland for their financial support and all the interviewed game studios for their time and invaluable insights.
