Quick answer: The best action and FPS video game poster prints in the UK right now span thirty years of genre history — from Doom (1993), which invented the first-person shooter, to Black Myth: Wukong (2024), one of the fastest-selling games ever made, via Cuphead, Blasphemous, Doom Eternal, ARC Raiders and more.

📋 In This Guide
Gaming room decoration is a genuinely underserved market. Most gaming posters available in the UK are either official promotional art — the kind of mass-produced maxi poster you'd find in a chain poster shop — or low-effort generic "gamer life" prints that don't actually represent any specific game. There's almost nothing designed for people who care about the visual identity of specific games and want something on their wall that captures why those games mattered.
That's the gap 98 Types Studio fills. This guide covers our action and FPS gaming poster collection in depth — where each game sits in gaming history, why it deserves a place on your wall, and what our minimalist print design does for it. Every print is linked directly, and the buy-3-get-1-free offer means you can start a proper gaming gallery wall for under £10.
Why Gaming Posters Are the Best Gaming Room Decoration
Gaming rooms present a specific interior design challenge. The instinct is to fill them with as much gaming stuff as possible — shelves of figures, stacked game boxes, peripheral accessories, LED strips — which often results in a space that feels more like a storage room than a room. Posters solve this problem, and here's why they work better than almost anything else.
First, scale. A well-chosen game poster occupies an entire wall section at a cost of £3–£10. The equivalent spend in figures or collectibles barely fills a shelf bracket. Posters create visual impact proportional to their price in a way no other gaming collectible category does.
Second, editability. Your taste in games changes over years — the games that defined you at 18 are different from the ones you return to at 28. Posters are easy to change, store flat, and replace without the resale headache of collectibles. They're one of the few gaming room investments that adapts to you rather than locking you in.
Third, and most importantly for anyone who cares about design: a well-designed game poster functions as genuine art. A minimalist print that captures Doom's demonic Mars aesthetic, or Cuphead's extraordinary 1930s animation art style, works on a wall the way a film poster or music print works — it communicates something about the person who chose it without needing to be explained.
🎮 The 98 Types Studio Approach to Gaming Prints
Every gaming print in our collection is designed as a minimalist art print — capturing the visual identity and emotional atmosphere of the game rather than reproducing existing promotional artwork. The result is a poster that works as wall art in any room, not just in a dedicated gaming space.

Classic FPS: The Games That Built the Genre
The first-person shooter genre has a precise birth date: 1 December 1993, when id Software released Doom to a world that had never seen anything like it. In the thirty-three years since that release, the genre has split into dozens of sub-categories — tactical shooters, extraction games, battle royale, arena FPS — but every one of them traces a direct lineage back to a handful of foundational games. These are the prints for gaming history.
Doom (1993)
There is no more important video game in the history of the first-person shooter than Doom. Released by id Software on 1 December 1993, John Romero and John Carmack's game didn't just create a new genre — it demonstrated what real-time 3D rendering could do, established level design principles that FPS games still follow today, and created a cultural moment so significant that it forced governments, media organisations and moral campaigners to take video games seriously for the first time.
The setup is deceptively simple: a lone marine, demons from Hell, a shotgun, and the surface of Mars. What id Software built around that premise was one of the most kinetically satisfying gameplay systems ever designed. The movement, the weapon feel, the enemy variety, the level architecture — all of it was original in 1993 and has been refined but never surpassed in the thirty years since. When Doom Eternal shipped in 2020, it was still essentially trying to capture what the 1993 original achieved, and it largely succeeded precisely because it returned to those foundational principles.
For any serious gaming fan, a Doom poster isn't just memorabilia — it's a statement about the game that started everything. Our minimalist Doom print captures the game's distinctive demonic aesthetic and the iconic silhouette of the Doomguy against the hellscape of Mars in a design that works as wall art rather than promotional material. It's a print that will look right in a dedicated gaming room, a home office, or any space where you want something that signals taste in interactive entertainment.
Shop Doom (1993) Print — From £3 →Doom Eternal (2020)
Doom Eternal is id Software's definitive statement that the FPS genre's greatest innovations aren't behind it. Released in 2020 to widespread critical acclaim, Eternal took the already well-received Doom (2016) reboot and pushed its combat philosophy to an extreme — a game where every encounter is a violent ballet requiring complete resource management, positional awareness and mechanical precision, all delivered at an almost overwhelming pace.
The game's central design insight was to make you feel like the monster. While Doom (1993) put you against demons with a shotgun, Doom Eternal gives you an arsenal of weapons, equipment and traversal abilities so overwhelming that the demons become the underpowered side — but only if you play at the game's intended relentless tempo. Slow down, play defensively, try to conserve ammo, and the game punishes you immediately. Commit to the chaos, cycle through weapons, use everything simultaneously, and it becomes one of the most exhilarating gameplay experiences of the 2020s.
Our Doom Eternal print captures the game's visual identity — the Doom Slayer's iconic Praetor Suit against the game's hellscape environments — in a minimalist design that works as a companion piece to our Doom (1993) print for a two-poster FPS timeline on your wall.

The action game category has produced some of the most critically acclaimed and commercially significant releases of the last five years. From Game Science's record-breaking Black Myth: Wukong to Embark Studios' ARC Raiders and Capcom's DMC5: Special Edition, these are the games that define what the genre looks like in the mid-2020s — and they translate into the most visually compelling poster prints in our gaming collection.
Black Myth: Wukong (2024)
The numbers around Black Myth: Wukong's launch in August 2024 are almost incomprehensible. Game Science's debut commercial title sold 10 million copies in its first three days, eventually reaching 25 million copies — one of the fastest-selling games in history. At launch it hit 2.4 million simultaneous Steam players, making it the most-played non-Valve game in Steam history. And critically, it earned those numbers not through franchise recognition or marketing spend but through sheer quality of execution.
Black Myth: Wukong is an adaptation of the 16th-century Chinese novel Journey to the West, following the Destined One — a monkey wukong — through a richly imagined version of ancient China filled with gods, demons and the fallen companions of the legendary Sun Wukong. The game's visual design is extraordinary: dense, detailed environments that blend classical Chinese architecture with mythological creature design in a visual language that had never been seen in games at this scale before.
Beyond its commercial success, Black Myth: Wukong represents a genuine shift in the global games industry — the arrival of Chinese game development as a world-class force in triple-A action game production. Game Science spent six years building it, and the result is a game that demonstrates what's possible when an independent studio commits completely to a single creative vision. Our minimalist print captures the visual drama of the Destined One's journey — a piece that means something to gaming fans who understand the significance of what Game Science achieved.

ARC Raiders became the most-searched video game worldwide in 2025, and it earned that attention on merit. Embark Studios — founded by former EA DICE veterans including the lead of Battlefield 3 — spent years developing a co-operative extraction shooter set in a world under siege by machine entities called ARCs. The result was a game that combined the tense, resource-management gameplay of the extraction genre with a strong visual identity and co-operative design that rewarded team communication in ways that similar games hadn't achieved.
The game's peak of 460,000 simultaneous Steam players in its launch window validated Embark's approach: ARC Raiders filled a genuine gap in the extraction shooter market for a game with the production values of a major studio release and the gameplay innovation of an independent project. Embark had already proved their model with The Finals (2023), and ARC Raiders expanded it into a richer, more sustained experience.
For gaming wall art, ARC Raiders has one of the strongest visual identities in the 2025 game library — the mechanical design of the ARC entities, the post-industrial environments and the game's colour palette translate into a distinctive poster print that works as both gaming memorabilia and as a piece of contemporary design art.
Shop ARC Raiders Print — From £3 →Astro Bot (2024)
Astro Bot won Game of the Year 2024 at The Game Awards, The Golden Joystick Awards, and virtually every other major games industry ceremony — and it deserved every single award. Team Asobi's PlayStation 5 exclusive is a joyful, imaginative platformer that simultaneously functions as a love letter to PlayStation's entire history, with references, cameos and recreations from thirty years of PlayStation games woven into a campaign that maintains genuine surprise and invention from start to finish.
What made Astro Bot remarkable wasn't just its technical execution — though that was flawless — but its emotional generosity. In an era of games that demand emotional investment through narrative weight and moral complexity, Astro Bot simply wanted to delight you, and it succeeded at that goal with absolute consistency across its entire runtime. It was also a reminder that the platformer genre — often dismissed as a legacy category — can still produce the year's most celebrated game when executed with complete mastery.
For PlayStation fans, Astro Bot is one of the defining games of the PS5 era, and our minimalist print captures the game's playful energy and the iconic blue-visor silhouette of the Astro Bot character in a design that works beautifully as gaming room wall art.

Devil May Cry 5 is Capcom at their absolute peak. After the critically divisive DmC: Devil May Cry reboot, Capcom returned the franchise to its roots and delivered a game that satisfied both long-time fans and newcomers — a tour de force of stylish action game design that set a new benchmark for the genre. The core combat system, which rewards creative combinations of weapons and abilities with a real-time style scoring system, is the most refined version of a gameplay philosophy that Capcom has been developing since the original Devil May Cry in 2001.
The Special Edition, released for next-generation hardware, added Vergil as a playable character — widely considered one of the best-designed characters in action game history — alongside visual upgrades that demonstrated what the RE Engine could do at higher frame rates and resolutions. It's the definitive version of the game and the one most people encounter first in the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X era.
For action game fans, a DMC5 poster is a statement about taste in game design. Our minimalist print captures the charismatic energy of Dante, Nero and Vergil in a design that communicates the franchise's iconic style without reproducing promotional artwork — it's a gaming print that works as art.

The most visually distinctive gaming posters often come from the indie sector, where smaller studios have the freedom to develop a singular visual identity without the homogenising influence of committee decision-making. Cuphead's 1930s animation art style, Blasphemous's grotesque Spanish religious imagery and the extraordinary pixel art of its sequel represent the cases where an indie game's visual design is so distinctive that a poster print almost designs itself.
Cuphead (2017)
Cuphead is one of the most extraordinary achievements in the history of video game art direction. Studio MDHR — a small indie studio founded by brothers Chad and Jared Moldenhauer — spent seven years hand-drawing and animating an entire game in the style of 1930s Fleischer Studios cartoons. Every frame of Cuphead looks like it was pulled directly from a Betty Boop or Popeye short, complete with film grain, off-colour registration, and the precise aesthetic quirks of cel animation from that era. Nothing else in gaming looks remotely like it.
The game itself — a boss-rush run-and-gun with some of the most demanding difficulty in the genre — perfectly matches its visual aesthetic. The Fleischer cartoons that inspired the look were themselves characterized by a slightly unsettling quality beneath their cheerful surface, and Cuphead's brutally difficult gameplay has the same quality: it presents itself with endless charm and warmth while being utterly relentless in what it demands from you. The combination works because the tone is consistent throughout — nothing about Cuphead is accidental.
For gaming poster design, Cuphead presents an unusual opportunity. The game's visual language is so distinctive and so rooted in a recognisable art historical tradition — 1930s American animation — that a Cuphead print works as wall art for anyone who appreciates design and animation history, not just fans of the game. Our minimalist Cuphead print uses the game's iconic character design and visual style to create a poster that holds its own alongside movie and music prints on any wall.

Spanish developer The Game Kitchen created something genuinely singular with Blasphemous: a dark action-platformer set in a grotesque world of perpetual religious penance inspired by the imagery of Spanish Catholicism and the Semana Santa (Holy Week) processions of Seville. The game's visual design — extraordinary pixel art depicting a world of penitents, religious icons twisted into nightmare forms, and gothic architecture — has a specificity that sets it apart from any other game in the metroidvania genre.
The Penitent One, the player character, is himself a visual statement: a massive conical hood (the capirote traditionally worn during Semana Santa processions) that completely obscures his face, a suit of armour that looks like it was designed for a sacred execution, and movement that combines the weight of religious ritual with the fluidity of a skilled swordsman. He's one of the most instantly recognisable protagonists in modern indie gaming, and he appears in one of the most specifically imagined worlds any platformer has ever created.
Blasphemous was a genuine critical and commercial success — a Kickstarter project that overdelivered on every promise and built a devoted fanbase that justified a sequel. Our Blasphemous print captures the game's iconic visual identity in a way that rewards recognition from fans while working as compelling dark art for anyone drawn to its gothic aesthetic.
Shop Blasphemous Print — From £3 →Blasphemous 2 (2023)
Blasphemous 2 accomplished something rare for a sequel: it improved substantially on the original without losing anything that made it distinctive. The Game Kitchen expanded the Penitent One's arsenal with three new weapons — each with fundamentally different move sets and combo structures — and built a world that was larger, more elaborately detailed and more narratively developed than its predecessor. The result was one of the finest metroidvania experiences of 2023, praised by critics and the existing fanbase alike for delivering more of what made the original great while genuinely evolving the formula.
Visually, Blasphemous 2 pushes the game's extraordinary pixel art into new territory — environments that feel simultaneously ancient and alive, enemy designs that extend the game's grotesque religious aesthetic in directions the original hadn't explored, and a colour palette that feels richer and more varied while remaining entirely consistent with the world the first game established.
For fans of the first game, a Blasphemous 2 print pairs naturally with the original — a two-part wall representation of one of the most distinctive franchises in modern indie gaming. Our print captures the sequel's visual identity and the Penitent One's new visual presentation in a design that works alongside or independently of the Blasphemous 1 print.

A gaming room gallery wall works differently from a general art or film poster wall, because gaming has a stronger sense of genre community — the prints you choose communicate something about your specific taste within gaming rather than just "I like games." Here's how to think about it.
Choose by era or genre, not at random
The most effective gaming gallery walls have a coherent theme. The easiest are genre-based (all FPS, all indie, all action) or era-based (all 90s, all 2020s). A mix of Doom (1993), Doom Eternal (2020) and ARC Raiders (2025) creates a thirty-year FPS chronology. Cuphead, Blasphemous and Blasphemous 2 create an indie action celebration. Black Myth: Wukong, DMC5 and Astro Bot tell the story of modern action game design.
FPS Timeline Wall
Doom 1993 + Doom Eternal + ARC Raiders. Thirty years of first-person evolution, one wall.
Indie Art Wall
Cuphead + Blasphemous + Blasphemous 2. Three games that prove indie gaming has the best visual design.
GOTY Trophy Wall
Astro Bot (2024 GOTY) + Black Myth Wukong + DMC5. Games that defined their years.
Size combinations that work
For a three-print wall, A3 centre + two A4 flanking prints creates an asymmetric gallery feel that suits gaming aesthetics well — it's dynamic without being chaotic. A row of uniform A4 prints works for a more structured display. Mix portrait and landscape orientations only if the individual game prints support it.
The buy-3-get-1-free strategy
98 Types Studio's buy-3-get-1-free offer was designed for exactly this — you choose the three prints you specifically want for your gallery wall, and the fourth is free. That might be a fourth gaming print, something from our music or film collection to break up the gaming theme, or a print you want to keep rolled and replace the current wall display with later. The offer applies automatically at checkout across the entire catalogue.
98 Types Studio vs Generic Gaming Posters UK
The UK gaming poster market broadly divides into two categories: licensed official posters (typically 61cm × 91.5cm promotional art reproductions sold by general poster retailers) and minimalist art print designs of the kind 98 Types Studio produces. Understanding the difference matters for anyone decorating a gaming room with intention.
| Feature | 98 Types Studio | Generic Gaming Poster UK |
|---|---|---|
| Design approach | Minimalist, art-directed per game | Promotional art reproduction |
| Starting price | From £3 | From £4.99 |
| Buy 3 get 1 free | ✅ Yes | Varies |
| Physical shop | ✅ Camden Market | ❌ Online only |
| Personalisation | ✅ Available | ❌ Not available |
| Available sizes | A5, A4, A3, A2, A1 | Usually one maxi size only |
| Game selection | Indie, action, FPS, classic, modern | Mainly Nintendo / mainstream |
The key distinction is the design philosophy. Most gaming poster retailers in the UK focus on licensed promotional art — official artwork provided by game publishers that has already appeared in marketing materials. 98 Types Studio's prints are original minimalist designs that interpret each game's visual identity rather than reproducing existing marketing materials. The result is prints that work as wall art across contexts, not just in dedicated gaming spaces.
