55% of French game development studios earned less than €300,000 in 2022
Syndicat National du Jeu Video (SNJV), a trade organization, surveyed 577 French game development studios. She found out that more than half of the teams did not earn even 300 thousand euros last year. At the same time, the number of large studios has grown.
According to SNJV, in 2022, the revenue of 14.4% of the surveyed studios exceeded € 10 million. In 2020, only 6.4% of companies indicated this amount in the survey (note, at that time, how many teams answered SNIV questions was not reported). Also, 8.3% of studios were able to earn more than €20 million.
In 2022, a third of the studios were making PC games. The next most popular platforms were home consoles (22.8%), mobile devices (16.1%) and portable consoles (15.5%).
The vast majority of studios (85%) called France an attractive region for gaming companies. Mainly due to the availability of tax benefits (31%), the quality of education (23.4%) and a high standard of living (21.9%).
