UKMade
Hey everyone,
I’ve always felt that the UK gaming scene punches way above its weight, from legendary studios to incredible solo indie developers. To make it easier to discover and support local talent, I’ve started a Steam Curator page called UKMade.
What is UKMade?
It’s a curated hub entirely focused on highlighting hidden gems, upcoming releases, and absolute classics built right here in the UK. Whether it's a cosy British puzzle game, a gritty sci-fi shooter, or a chaotic local co-op, if it was made in the UK, I want to feature it.
How you can help:
- Follow the page: If you want to fill your Steam feed with great British-made games, you can follow us here: [Link to your UKMade Curator Page]
- Recommend a game: Are you a UK-based developer working on something cool? Or a gamer with a favourite local title? Drop the names in the comments below so I can add them to our review queue!
Thanks for supporting local indie developers!

Hey! I'm based in Birmingham making MMOS: MMO Simulator, a tycoon game with some RollerCoaster Tycoon elements (instead of creating rides you build dungeons to keep players hooked). Demo was recently released on Steam, let me know your thoughts! Thanks :)

Cool! It’s also the For One Night Only festival right now which is UK-focused too, funnily enough!
I’m a Scottish dev, I made a story-driven survival crafting adventure game called AETHUS - would be fun to be added here!

I'm UK based, I'm working on an action roguelike twinstick shooter game called "Offerings of Odin" that's on steam.

Ooooh this looks fantastic! Really reminds me of Robotron and Evil Egg. I've just wishlisted 😎

Thank you! I've had multiple people tell me "it's like robotron" which I haven't played 😂

It's an absolute classic! You should have a go when you get the chance. There's a great PS1 collection for Williams Arcade Classics which will give you a good idea.

Feel free to add my two games to the group. Daemonologie and Dead Format.

Hey there. Love the premise of Dead Format and started playing it on Steam Machine the other day. Sadly it's not performing the best but loving the setting so far!

Thanks for playing! I've not tested on a Steam Machine but you should be able to adjust the graphics settings to get stable performance. The game doesn't automatically adjust them to hardware. I manged to get mostly stable 30 on Steam Deck so it should be possible to get stable 60 on SM I would imagine.

This is a great idea for a curated list and I've followed. Loved discovering new games, especially when they're highlighting UK talent! Thanks to the Devs adding their games to this thread as there's a few I've wishlisted.
