Ahead of the annual Games Developer Conference this March, GDC has released its ‘State of the Game’ survey results for 2023, and there are plenty of stats that might interest Switch owners. This annual survey, which you can get a copy of from GDC’s website<\/a>, gives us an insight into the current state of the game industry.<\/p>\n

For this year’s survey, GDC spoke to over 2,300 game developers, and there are a few interesting things to note. One is that more game developers now work for independent studios rather than AAA. 39% of the devs surveyed currently work for an indie game company, while 23% work for a AAA developer. Most surveyed have been working in the industry for “10 years or less” \u2014 57% in fact.<\/p>\n

Looking at Switch stats specifically, with the console approaching its sixth anniversary, and according to a poll by GDC, 35% of game developers are still interested in developing games for the Switch. This is just behind the PlayStation 5 (46%) and the PC (64%).<\/p>\n
