The UK has long been a powerhouse of the gaming industry, and For One Night Only is a new showcase looking to celebrate that. The showcase is being put together by Ukie, and will feature developer interviews, exclusive reveals, announcements for new content, and more in a livestreamed event taking place in July.
For One Night Only will go live on Twitch on the evening of the 29th of July. The livestream will be a replay of the live event, which takes place on the 21st of July, and will be held at the Outernet in London. It'll be supported by a massive UK industry sale on the Steam Store, with over 100 games getting a discount.

"The UK is home to some of the best games development talent in the world, from innovative indie favourites to globally successful blockbusters. For One Night Only will be a unique celebration of these amazing creative businesses and a showcase of their games to a global audience of game players. So, tune in for a night of fun, games, developer interviews and exclusive reveals," said Ukie CEO Nick Poole via a press release.
The event will be hosted by comedian and gamer Bec Hill, who said: "I am in awe of the talent which continues to emerge from and within the British games industry, so it will be a refreshing (and humbling) experience to host something where the attendees' level of creativity and skill outweighs my own."
