***Develop*** was a monthly UK [trade magazine](/source/Trade_magazine) for the [video game industry](/source/Video_game_industry). Its online portal, complete with a digital version of the print publication, was active since July 2007.[1]

Develop 100 was an annual rating system for game developers produced by *Develop*. It was a ranking of the world's games development studios based on a variety of criteria including sales data, critical success and industry standing.[citation needed]

The Develop Industry Excellence Awards, also annually, honoured the development of video games and award studios across a range of categories.[2]

In November 2017, [NewBay Media](/source/NewBay_Media), the owner of *Develop* at the time, announced that the websites, magazines and events of *Develop* and sister magazine *Esports Pro* would be absorbed into *[MCV](/source/MCV/Develop)* by early 2018, with the combined magazine moving to a monthly frequency.[3][4]
