TruePlayers, a Cornwall-based games studio specialising in simulation and action-based entertainment, has raised £140,000 in funding from the British Business Bank via The FSE Group. Launched in 2021, it develops high-fidelity gaming and simulation experiences for PC and console platforms.
The studio initially focused on mobile-first titles before pivoting to PC and console gaming in response to market changes. Its latest release, FireHawk FPV, is a first-person drone-flying simulator that has sold more than 10,000 units and attracted interest from gamers and organisations exploring simulation-based training tools.
The new funding will allow it to continue developing FireHawk FPV, including introducing new game modes, adding community-driven gameplay features and launching multiplayer. Support will also be used to bring the game to additional gaming platforms and to progress discussions with commercial partners on using FireHawk’s controls for training applications.
The investment follows a 2022 investment from FSE and takes the total British Business Bank investment to £365,000 via the Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Investment Fund.
