What is gamedevmap?

gamedevmap is the world's first and largest curated map and dataset of game development organizations.

How do I use the map?

The gamedevmap database can be explored in several ways:

• Click on a colored dot on the map to view all the companies and organizations in that location.
• Click on Ghosty to view remote-friendly studios. Entries with a physical location may have restrictions on where staff can be located.
• Type a company, city, state/province, or country/region into the search field and press the search button to find specific entries.
• Click on a category below the search bar to see all the companies that fall under that category.

Search results are displayed below the map.

What criteria are used to include organizations on gamedevmap?

gamedevmap focuses on organizations that actively contribute to the creative authorship or publishing of video games, or that support the broader game development ecosystem.

We currently include:

• Studios developing original or licensed IP as primary developers of record
• Publishers
• Incubators and accelerators supporting game development
• Investment companies with active game studio portfolios
• Nonprofit organizations supporting game development

We do not track:

• Organizations without a public website establishing a verifiable identity
• Organizations that do not publicly share a geographical location (excluding fully remote organizations)
• Middleware and tool vendors
• Outsourcing or co-development service providers without primary authorship
• Marketing, public relations, and communications service providers
• Recruiting and staffing firms
• Passive IP holding companies without active game development operations
• Educational institutions and student teams
• Individual talent, consultants, or mod groups

gamedevmap is a curated, high-level industry infrastructure resource rather than a comprehensive directory of all service providers or individuals. Inclusion decisions are made at the discretion of the gamedevmap team based on these principles.
