Video Game Support Program (PWGW) is an initiative of the Creative Industries Institute (IPK), aimed at supporting the development of Polish game studios. We enable the creation of original, ambitious, and innovative projects that promote Polish culture and creativity both domestically and internationally.

We target our support at projects based on cultural diversity and interactive narratives. We assist independent studios and emerging development teams looking for inspiration in Polish heritage and values.

Who can apply?

The following entities are eligible to apply for funding under the PWGW program:

  • Business entities (registered in CEIDG or KRS).
  • Non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

Important: Each entity can submit a maximum of one application per call for applications.

What activities can receive funding?

Funds from the PWGW program can be allocated to activities in three key areas:

  • Video game prototypes: creating the first playable versions of projects to be used for further production development or to facilitate the search for investors.
  • Adapting games to the needs of players with disabilities (accessibility): implementing solutions such as subtitles, audio description, alternative controls, high-contrast modes, or simplified gameplay mechanics.
  • Game localization: translating games created in Polish into foreign languages for the purpose of international expansion.

Funding rules

Financial support from IPK for gaming projects is as follows:

  • Minimum funding amount: PLN 20,000.
  • Maximum funding amount: PLN 400,000.
  • Support level: from 80% to 95% of the budget (depending on the total project value).
