Values Value and InGame Job have released a separate Cyprus report taken from their Game Industry Employment Survey 2025. The results show Cyprus as relatively static in job mobility, with high burnout risk. Juniors and Regulars remain underrepresented, however.
Values Value and InGame Job have released a new research report, covering the game industry landscape of Cyprus for experienced game workers. The report is based on an anonymous survey of 113 specialists, including senior, lead, and executive-level professionals across development, production, analytics, design, HR, and management roles.
The Cyprus survey results are part of the Games Industry Employment Report (which we regularly analyse and visualise around gamescom in cooperation with Values Value and InGame Job) of last year.
The report highlights Cyprus as a mature, low-mobility market for experienced talent. It finds that Senior and higher professionals tend to change jobs infrequently, prioritizing stability, clear responsibilities, financial reliability, and long-term predictability over rapid career acceleration or employer brand visibility. At the same time, the research points to burnout and limited professional development as the key long-term risks facing the market. It also goes into detail on sociodemographic characteristics: 57 per cent of participants were male, 29 per cent female, 14 per cent neither. Only one percent worked in Junior range, eight per cent as regulars, 29 per cent as Senior, and with 60 per cent the vast bulk in Lead/Top. This also marks a defining deviation from other markets surveyed in the Employment Report, where Leads and Managers make up just a small percentage. Likewise, the high stability of the market, with 71 per cent stating they did not change jobs in the last 12 months and 85 per cent of those that did only having to search for up to three months for a new job make Cyprus an outlier in the European landscape the overall survey describes. This also indicates that the survey has probably not reached the full range of Cyprus workers, since Junior and Regular workers are under-represented.
