What game developers make
Median
$100,000
Lower end
$62,000
Upper end
$160,000
Job Bank's national median is $48.08 an hour, about $100,000 a year at 40 hours a week. Job Bank pools game developers with all software developers (NOC, the National Occupational Classification, code 21232), so these figures are not for game studios alone. The lower and upper ends ($30.00 and $76.92 an hour) are the bottom and top of the range for everyone in the group.
