Team17 names new CEO

Team17 has appointed a new CEO, with Steve Bell taking on the role from 2024 onwards. Bell will join the UK company's board from September 4, 2023 before officially becoming CEO on January 1, 2024. Current CEO Debbie Bestwick will remain so until that date, before transitioning to a non-executive director role.

Team17 has had ups and downs in the past couple of years, unveiling an NFT project in 2022 that was dropped a day later after backlash from players. Soon after, a Eurogamer investigation unveiled workplace issues at the company, with instances of poor pay, long hours and concerns about upper management spanning several years.
