History
The company was formed in 2012 by co-founders Dr David Banner MBE and Richard Pring. Both founders previously co-managed GamesLab Wales together under University of Glamorgan (now University of South Wales). Banner, a former employee of Pivotal Games and Eidos Interactive, also founded the Wales Games Development Show. Wales Interactive was formed with an aim to create original games that entertain the world as well as put Wales on the video games map. In 2018, David Banner a received a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) recognition in the Queen's Birthday Honours List for services to the video games industry.
Most of Wales Interactive's early work consisted of mobile apps and games as well as a series of Welsh e-books which were supported by S4C's digital fund. In 2013, they shifted development to focus on PC and consoles with their title, Gravity Badgers, and the psychological horror Master Reboot. The development team released Infinity Runner with Oculus Rift support, a first for the company. Infinity Runner went on to being the first PlayStation 4 and Xbox One game to be made entirely in Wales. The studio gained a major publication feature in a studio profile for Edge, which coincided with the early access development stages of their science fiction adventure game Soul Axiom.
In 2015, Wales Interactive established its third-party publishing label. They partnered with UK independent developers Milky Tea to bring their title Coffin Dodgers to Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The studio continues to develop their label by co-developing and publishing the FMV survival horror video game The Bunker.
