The Czech nation has had a mighty influence on the game development circuit with a number of Czech-made video games making waves in the global-games realm, occupying leading positions in their respected genres. 

So much so that according to tech industry site Czech Crunch, several Czech games were among last year’s bestsellers, including the hugely popular VR-hit Beat Saber, whose parent studio Beat Games was recently purchased by Facebook.
