If it's been sitting on your to-do list, now is the moment. Once the survey closes, the data is locked, and the 2026 report will be built without your experience in it.
This is the free, public report that gamedev comes back to every year for salary benchmarks, hiring trends, and career data. It exists because people in the industry take the time to fill it out.
This report is for everyone who is or has been part of this industry: studio employees, indie devs, freelancers, people still searching after a layoff, and those who switched careers within the last year. If gamedev has been part of your story, your perspective belongs in this report.
✅ Strictly anonymous. No names, emails, or company identifiers.
✅ 15 minutes, and you're done.
✅ Free for everyone. Public the moment it drops in November.
This is your last chance to be part of it.
