Celebrating Ukrainian Game Developers with Xbox Game Camp

Today, Microsoft has announced the launch of Xbox Game Camp Ukraine, a free, one-day virtual event dedicated to celebrating upcoming and established Ukrainian game creators residing in the country and around the world.

“Despite the challenging times, the Ukrainian people continue to demonstrate remarkable innovation and resilience. Supporting Microsoft’s mission to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more, the Microsoft Ukraine team is excited to welcome Xbox Game Camp to the region. This inaugural event will serve as a platform to connect with Ukrainian talent both domestically and abroad, paving the way for even more Ukrainian-developed games to be released in the Xbox ecosystem,” said Leonid Polupan, Ukraine Country Manager at Microsoft.

Home to a wealth of talent, Ukraine has established itself as a significant force in the video game industry. Renowned studios such as 4A Games have garnered international acclaim with their Metro series, while Room 8 and Ulysses Graphics have made substantial contributions to high-profile AAA titles including Call of Duty, Diablo IV, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Overwatch, and Age of Empires IV. These achievements represent only a fraction of the extensive contributions Ukrainian developers have made to the global gaming industry over the past three decades, underscoring their critical role in advancing the field of interactive entertainment.

Game Camp Ukraine is collaborating with EPAM Systems, Ukraine’s largest tech employer with nearly 20 years of experience in Ukraine's IT engineering hub.

"We at EPAM Gaming are proud to be a part of Xbox Game Camp Ukraine. Our team of more than 9,000 EPAMers in Ukraine have deep insights into the creativity and resilience of the local gaming development community. This important event underscores our commitment to supporting the education and growth of the next generation of game development talent,” said Vitalii Vashchuk, Head of Gaming Solutions at EPAM.
