A UK politician says you probably shouldn't expect the government to be hyping up the release of GTA 6 the way France did for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, even if it should be doing more.
Speaking to Ian Murray – current Minister of State for Creative Industries, Media and Arts as well as the MP for Edinburgh South – on The Game Business, host Chris Dring mentions the French government championing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 after it became a breakout hit in 2025. He notes that we don't really see the UK championing its successes in the games industry in the same way – given that Rockstar with GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Playground Games with Forza Horizon, and Rocksteady with the Batman Arkham series all hail from the UK – asking if it's something Murray thinks the government should be doing more for.
