"You don't want to be too far [back] in that last corner, that's maybe why we had to go a bit earlier than we wanted but I could jump on the wheel of Casper and pass him."

by UK regulator Ofcom, five of the top ten games among UK players were F2P.Fortnite recorded about 2.65m active UK users in May 2024, and Roblox 1.22m, according to the report, and global figures are much higher.

Drawing those players to premium titles can be a challenge but Marty argues games such as Doom, which can be completed in under 20 hours, can "fit into those habits"."It doesn't have to become your obsession for the next two years," he says.The Doom series - developed by Dallas-based ID Software - has an advantage over others because it's so well-known and has a large, loyal fanbase.

But, as industry expert Rhys Elliot, from Alinea Analytics, tells Newsbeat, it's getting harder to rely solely on your hardcore players.Overall, he says, the number of people playing premium titles isn't increasing, but the cost of making them is.

"The people who make games - they still need to make revenues each year because, you know, capitalism," he says.

One way of doing this is by attracting new players.This was very unpopular with many UK fishermen who complained, accurately, that under the CFP they caught far fewer fish in EU waters than EU fishermen caught in UK waters.

After Brexit, the UK and the EU agreed that EU vessels could still fish in UK waters until 30 June 2026, but that 25% of the EU's quota in UK waters (by value of fish landings) would gradually be transferred to the UK.From 1 July 2026, EU-UK deals for fishing access were going to be negotiated annually.

But this new deal maintains the current position in terms of EU access to UK waters for 12 years, a move criticised by the Scottish Fishermen's Federation as a "total capitulation" by the UK government.Downing Street stressed that the EU quota in UK waters has not increased, and says the deal provides certainty - as well as streamlining the process for selling UK fish and shellfish in the EU.
