โ๐ฎ 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.
โ You get real benchmarks to work with. Salary ranges by role, seniority, and region. The same data you'll be comparing yourself against.
โ Your perspective adds to the whole. Every additional role and region makes the report more representative of how gamedev actually looks in 2026.
โ Your privacy is fully protected. Strictly anonymous. No names, no emails, no company identifiers. Only aggregated data goes into the report.
โ 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!
๐ 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.
Forward this to your gamedev friends.

โHello, gamedev friends!
Enchant AI&Gaming Accelerator is flying to Cyprus.
On May 27th, the team will hold its 8th game demo day (and the first ever in Cyprus!) in Limassol, complete with a post-pitch party.

This is a great opportunity to:
- meet investors and publishers in person;
- network with gamedev experts and leaders;
- find strong partners and like-minded individuals.
At previous demo days in Cologne (during Gamescom) and Lisbon (during DevGamm), teams requested checks of $2 million, and through Enchant, they were able to secure calls with Sony and Krafton.

โPermanent 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. Itโs 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:
โซ๏ธ Why traditional permanent jobs are freezing while fractional spending skyrockets.
โซ๏ธ The rise of Co-dev as the ultimate scalable structure.
โซ๏ธ Why studios that only track full-time headcount are missing the actual workforce building their games.
๐ Track: Game Business | Time: 11:30โ12:00
๐ 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.
