About this Report

In this report, we take a look at today’s landscape of game development. We examine who game developers are, the technologies, engines, and programming languages they rely on, the platforms they target, and the types of games they create. The report also explores how game developers perceive the impact of AI in the industry, shedding light on both the opportunities and the challenges it introduces.

Methodology

The report is based on data collected from the 30th edition of the Developer Nation survey edition of the Developer Nation survey, a large-scale, online developer survey that was designed, hosted, and fielded by SlashData over a period of ten weeks between June 2025 and July 2025.
