Ace High Sports Scores UKGF Content Fund Support

Powering up our first title, Touchdown Poker, our rookie game with all-star ambitions.

Ace High Sports is thrilled to share some great news. We’ve successfully gained backing from the UK Games Fund in the latest Content Fund round. This boost is already propelling the development of our debut game, Touchdown Poker, into the next league, as Mike Hawkyard, Co-Founder & CEO, Ace High Sports explains: 

“We’re incredibly grateful to the UK Games Fund as this grant does more than add funds. It brings valuable credibility to our studio and increases investor confidence. Thanks to this support, we were able to showcase Touchdown Poker at Gamescom, where we scored some solid wins. It’s also helped us expand quickly, welcoming talented new team members. For an indie team like ours, this kind of help is a total game-changer, giving us the room to focus fully on driving Touchdown Poker all the way to the end zone.” 

Kirsty Gibson, Head of Impact at UK Games Fund, said: 

“We’re thrilled to continue to support UK indie developers through the Content Fund and we warmly welcome Ace High Sports to our growing community portfolio. The newly funded studios, and the innovative games they’re working on, highlight the incredible talent, creativity, and entrepreneurial energy driving the bright future of the UK games development sector.”
