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!
