Unit 2 Games Joins Facebook Gaming

Today is an extremely exciting day for Unit 2 Games and our whole team as we officially join the Facebook Gaming family!

Our vision for Unit 2 Games and Crayta was to truly democratise game creation, empowering more people than ever before to make, play and share games, regardless of experience or background. The Facebook Gaming team also shares those values and are every bit as excited as we are about the potential of this vision. Joining forces allows us to unlock new opportunities and realise that potential to its very fullest. We can’t wait to see where we can take things together.

Company Information

Unit 2 Games is an award-winning 50+ person games studio located in Leamington Spa, UK.

We were formed in 2017 to build Crayta - our dream is to make game and digital experience creation accessible to anyone and everyone.

We launched in 2020 exclusive to Google Stadia, expanded on to Epic Games Store in March 2021, and were acquired by Meta in June 2021.

We have an ambitious vision and a very exciting future ahead of us.

Our Values

Our core values help us to focus on what’s important to our team and our community, and about the work we do.

  • Create great experiences that people love
  • Act ethically to all and at all times
  • Make a positive difference
  • Put people first, not process
  • Communicate honestly and openly
  • Empower and support one another and our community
  • Have fun!

Inclusivity

We aim to build an inclusive and diverse development studio that creates experiences that are as accessible as possible to a wide variety of people and abilities.

We therefore strongly encourage applicants from backgrounds that aren’t always well-represented within the industry.

For full information on Meta's commitment to diversity and inclusivity please head here.

Vacancies

"As one of the UK's top ten most in-demand companies, there’s no denying that Facebook [Meta] is a highly desirable place to work." Glassdoor

Interested in a job with us?

The studio has twice won GamesIndustry.biz's Best Places To Work Award, and we'd love to welcome more people to the team.

We are currently actively recruiting across a wide range of roles - for the full list of active vacancies please visit Careers at Unit 2 Games.

Position on Remote Working

Most of us are still working remotely because of the ongoing Covid pandemic, and we share Meta's vision for a fully connected metaverse future where that becomes even easier and more common. In the meantime though, while we all help to shape that future, we'd prefer to see most people (especially less senior members of staff) in the office for at least some of the week, when it's safe to do so. However, we are still open to discussing long-term remote working for highly experienced candidates in senior positions.
