This year, the Big Games Industry Employment Survey is supported by Scorewarrior — one of Europe’s top-performing mobile game developers.
Based in Limassol, Scorewarrior is best known for Total Battle, a 4X strategy title that has consistently ranked among the top-grossing games in its category — reaching the global top 10 in 2024.
Scorewarrior has been supporting the research for the second year in a row, seeing strong value in helping build a clearer understanding of the games industry job market.
💬 As Adam Sibson, CTAO at Scorewarrior, puts it:
“The games industry is going through rapid change, with layoffs, AI, and shifts in roles. This makes it important to understand the experiences of people building careers in games and the support they need. Scorewarrior is pleased to support InGame Job’s survey.”
If you’re working in games, we’d really appreciate your input — the survey takes about 15 minutes and helps build a clearer picture of the industry: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RNT2DTJ

Understanding what’s really happening in the games industry today — across roles, regions, and experience levels — is more important than ever.
That’s why we’re especially glad to have Tribe supporting the Big Games Industry Employment Survey for the second year in a row.
Based in Limassol (Cyprus), Tribe is a full-cycle HR agency working across recruitment, relocation, employee development, and research — helping both companies and candidates navigate growth more effectively.

As Olga Makhrova, HR Director at Tribe, shares:
“The Big Games Industry Employment Survey provides a clear and comprehensive view of the market by structuring data across roles, regions, and experience levels. For employers, it serves as a tool to build competitive offers, while for candidates it offers an opportunity to objectively evaluate their standing. Such research increases transparency and maturity within the industry and sets a higher standard of openness in the market.”
We’re grateful to have Tribe with us again this year 🙏

The global mobile market is no longer a level playing field. In 2025, not a single new launch in the top 15 revenue charts for Tier-1 markets came from a Western studio.
This success is the result of a twenty-year lead in developing hyper-efficient organizational systems.
GamesIndustry.Biz has published an analysis by our Co-founder, Tanja Loktionova, decoding how Chinese studios have successfully scaled their dominance globally and what Western developers must learn to stay competitive.
Since Western studios cannot match that industrial scale, they can out-maneuver it. Tanja argues that the winning move is Talent Density: building small, elite teams of high-leverage specialists. In this new reality, an individual's taste, cultural intuition, and creative judgment have become the defining force that allows a studio to stand out in today’s crowded market.

Powering the Big Games Industry Employment Survey 2026 with Mellow
We’re proud to have Mellow as the main partner of the Big Games Industry Employment Survey 2026.
One month in — and we’re already approaching 1,000 responses from professionals across the global games industry.
This year, we’re paying special attention to how work in games is changing: distributed teams, freelance models, and the growing role of contractors across production.
Mellow is one of the companies building infrastructure for this shift — helping studios work with global talent at scale and navigate the operational complexity behind it.
As Aleksandr Noroviatkin, Head of Growth & Brand at Mellow, puts it:
“The gaming industry runs on distributed teams, yet most studios still lack the infrastructure to manage them properly — especially when it comes to IP transfer, misclassification risks, scaling contractors at production speed. These are billion-dollar problems hiding in spreadsheets and handshake agreements.
Every major layoff only accelerates the shift toward contract work. That’s why we’re building the infrastructure to power contractor operations for game studios worldwide.”
We’re grateful to Mellow for supporting this research and helping us better understand where the industry is heading.
👉 If you work in games, we’d love to hear your perspective.

🎮 Still time to join the Big Games Industry Employment Survey 2026!
We believe gamedev salary data should be open to everyone who works in the industry.
That's why this report is free, public, and built for the whole community.
But it only works because of a simple trade: you give 15 minutes of your time, and in return the whole community gets a transparent picture of what's really happening with salaries, hiring, and careers in 2026.
✅ You get real benchmarks to work with. Salary ranges by role, seniority, and region. The same data you'll be comparing yourself against.
✅ Your perspective adds to the whole. Every additional role and region makes the report more representative of how gamedev actually looks in 2026.
✅ Your privacy is fully protected. Strictly anonymous. No names, no emails, no company identifiers. Only aggregated data goes into the report.
✅ Your contribution stays free for everyone. Public the moment it drops, for every developer, artist, producer, designer, QA, and specialist in gamedev.
15 minutes from you = a fairer, more transparent market for all of us!
👉 Take the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RNT2DTJ
The project is powered by our Exclusive Partner Mellow, a platform helping 200+ gamedev companies worldwide hire and manage contractors across 100+ countries.
Supported by our Partners Scorewarrior and Tribe, along with our Media partners: gamescom dev, DevGAMM, Hivemind, Games Gathering, GDBAY, and Global Game Jam.

Permanent vs Fractional: What Studio Hiring Signals Tell Us About Where the Industry Is Going
The media narrative says the games industry is shrinking. But when you look at the actual data, a completely different reality emerges: European studios spent 63% more on external talent last year, and freelancer income grew by 19% globally.
The industry isn't shrinking. It’s splitting into two tracks: permanent and fractional.
At GDCy on May 29, Tanja Loktionova (Founder, Values Value ; Co-Founder InGame Job) and Alexander Norovyatkin (Head of Brand, Mellow) will put two proprietary datasets in conversation for the first time. They will show what neither dataset shows alone:
▫️ Why traditional permanent jobs are freezing while fractional spending skyrockets.
▫️ The rise of Co-dev as the ultimate scalable structure.
▫️ Why studios that only track full-time headcount are missing the actual workforce building their games.
📋 Track: Game Business | Time: 11:30–12:00
📍 Location: Limassol
The workforce signal comes before the press release. Join the session to see where the industry is moving before it tells you it moved.

🎮 One week left: The Big Games Industry Employment Survey 2026 closes on June 15❗️
In 2025, the numbers told a tough story:
📉 26% experienced layoffs
🔥 Half the industry reported burnout
⏳ 15% had been job hunting for over a year
📊 28% who changed jobs had to accept worse conditions
The 2026 report will show whether things have improved, stabilized, or shifted in a new direction. But it only works if enough people take part — and the window is closing.
✅ Strictly anonymous. No names, emails, or company identifiers.
✅ 15 minutes, and you're done.
✅ Free for everyone. Public the moment it drops in November.
One week. That's all the time left to be part of it.
👉 Take the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RNT2DTJ
The project is powered by our Exclusive Partner Mellow, a platform helping 200+ gamedev companies worldwide hire and manage contractors across 100+ countries.
Supported by our Partners Scorewarrior and Tribe, along with our Media partners: gamescom dev, DevGAMM, Hivemind, Games Gathering, GDBAY, Mobidictum, and Global Game Jam.
Share it with your gamedev network 🙌
