Working in the Games Industry

AAA videogames – the biggest projects in game development – are developed by large multidisciplinary teams and require a lot of work and special knowledge. Hence, our development teams consist of talented people with a diverse set of skills and tasks that all work together to create unforgettable video games experiences. Here you can learn more about how we make videogames and what kind of different jobs contribute to AAA game development. By the way: game development ranks among the most cosmopolitan industries in the world. Therefore, the industry’s common language is English – this also goes for our studios and teams.

Schools & Pupils

Video games are more than "just" entertainment because every game involves contributions from countless experts as well as complex and often innovative technologies. That's why it's important to discover talented young people at an early stage and show them the possibilities of a career in the games industry. We are pleased that more young people are considering a career in video game development and that we can help to give them their first insights into this fascinating industry.
