The Develop 100 is a yearly list published by Develop that lists of the top one-hundred video game developers ranked by the amount of revenue taken in through video game sales in the United Kingdom. Its first release was in 2005, and since then it has been release annually.[1] In each publication of the list, a profile of the studio is included stating what has made the company more successful or less successful than previous years.
