Empower Up, the online EDI platform created by award-winning games recruitment specialist Amiqus and Ukie’s RaiseTheGame, is marking its second-year anniversary.
Over the past two years, Empower Up has continued to provide games studios of all sizes with the practical tools, guidance and resources needed to build and strengthen meaningful, inclusive workplace cultures. From foundational EDI frameworks to actionable advice, the platform supports studios at every stage of their EDI journey.
Building on the same mission that launched the website, Empower Up now offers an even deeper library of resources, including:
- Intro to EDI guidance, covering Protected Characteristics and under-represented groups
- The EDI Health Check, helping studios benchmark their progress and identify next steps
- The EDI Journey, enriched with best-practice insights across workplace culture, recruitment, development, communications, accessibility, outreach and legal requirements
- A growing Resources hub, featuring case studies, directories, glossaries and industry events
Empower Up’s evolution has been driven by continuous weekly news and guidance updates, ensuring that the platform reflects the latest research, initiatives, legal changes, and conversations shaping EDI within the games sector.
And, as the platform enters its third year, Empower Up has announced the launch of a new monthly newsletter in the New Year. This digest will provide studios and individuals with timely updates, featured resources, upcoming events, and practical advice – all designed to help the industry stay informed, engaged and empowered.

“Reaching our two-year milestone is a testament to how committed the games industry is to creating more inclusive workplaces. Empower Up is growing, evolving, and becoming an even more valuable resource for studios who want to take meaningful action. We’re thrilled to introduce our new monthly newsletter as another way to support studios throughout the year.”
Ukie CEO Nick Poole added:
“Empower Up is a great resource for studios looking to build a more inclusive and equitable workplace. Hundreds of studios have already benefited from Empower Up’s practical resources and guidance, and we hope to see more as we head into year three. We are proud of what’s been achieved over the past two years and excited to see how Empower Up continues to support the games industry.”
