Because of this, funding, such as that provided by the FFF Bayern, is essential to support and maintain German companies in the computer games industry. Likewise, the absolute number of people employed in this industry in Germany is also declining or stagnating” – according to the former BMDV. “However, despite rising overall sales in the sector, the market share of German games companies is shrinking. Innovations in the areas of technology, culture and business are becoming apparent. The computer games industry is growing constantly – and thus more and more new companies are being founded. In total 64 games from Bavaria have been funded through both funding methods. This combines the previous de-minimis funding and the new production funding (since September 2020). Up to now (December 19, 2022), the federal government has supported 411 games via computer games funding since 2019.

In this article, we would like to introduce you to those companies based in Bavaria that have so far received a Produktionsförderung (production funding) from the German government – the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action – as part of the new, large-volume computer games funding. In a previous article ( German version here), we presented the games that have received funding from the German government (formerly from the BMVI and the BMDV).
