FuturLab Named Best Indie Studio for Second Year Running

Last night, our FuturLab gnomes travelled to London for a night of glitz and glam at this year’s MCV/Develop Awards. We announced in April that we were delighted to be nominated for two awards this year, Indie Studio of the Year and Ongoing Innovation for PowerWash Simulator.

After an evening of fine dining and fun, we eagerly awaited the awards ceremony and were blown away when FuturLab was announced as the winner of the Indie Studio of the Year category!  

This is the second consecutive year we have received this award and we are over the moon. This accolade encompasses all our efforts to make FuturLab a great place to work and shows that even as we grow and change as a company, we're still going in the right direction! 

We’re delighted to take home the Indie Studio of the Year award and cement ourselves as a great place to work where people are happy, respected and given opportunities to grow and thrive. At FuturLab we champion a no-crunch culture and the belief that happy people make great games, and PowerWash Simulator has certainly had a great year with numerous IP-crossover expansions, a VR release and surpassing 12 million players worldwide. This award especially celebrates the work behind-the-scenes of our People Team who are always innovating ways new ways to prioritise the wellbeing of everyone at FuturLab.

As a remote-first studio, awards shows like this are a great opportunity for our employees to get together and celebrate with one another. The next time we do will be our very own summer festival: FuturFest where the whole company will get together with their families for a weekend of fun in the sun. This award win is a great way to kickstart a summer of celebration for the company!
