IN something of a turn up for the books, Oxford has been named one of the country’s biggest releasers of video games.

The city is the fifth biggest releaser in the UK, according to research by the gaming website OnBuy.com, which said the South East was comfortably the biggest game releasing region.

London, Manchester, Liverpool and Brighton topped Oxford’s total of 230, for the number of games released to date.

Games that come out of Oxford are mainly for mobile, with the majority being iOS platform, Windows, iPhone and iPad (12%).
