Applied Games Showcase 2026

Explore a range of innovative games created to tackle real-world challenges across sustainability, engineering, health and more.

These games were developed as part of the Professional Masters in Games Development (MProf). Throughout the programme, students worked closely with industry partners and responded directly to client briefs, producing applied games with purpose and impact.

Learn more about each team, their creative process, and the diverse games they’ve brought to life.
