By enthusiasts, for enthusiasts.

 

Dovetail Games is an award-winning developer and publisher of market leading simulation entertainment software, based in Kent, UK.

We craft digital hobbies for passionate enthusiasts and sell these in more than 100 countries across the globe. These hobbies come in the form of simulation experiences that faithfully recreate real world situations and put players at the heart of the action.

Our core products are Train and Fishing simulators, which are available for PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/s, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.

In addition to these core products, Dovetail creates and maintains an extensive library of over 800 pieces of downloadable content (DLC).  This allows our customers to build their own personalised collection of DLC to complement the core product, ensuring that even the most enthusiastic of players has a steady stream of new content to keep their experiences as fresh and engaging as possible.  We also provide continuous optimisation and improvement of core product through free ‘quality of life’ updates.

We are growing fast, and currently employ approximately 170 passionate & creative individuals at our home in the Historic Dockyard Chatham.
