Motion and graphic design led all disciplines in June at 16%, powered by a wave of creative agency and tech company hiring. Animation and 3D Art tied close behind at 13% each, holding as the core game art disciplines. VFX held at 7%. The spread reflects a market where studios, agencies, and VFX houses are all hiring at once, with no single discipline dominating the way Animation did in May.

Keywords Studios led June with 32 roles, by a wide margin. As a global art and services outsourcer, its dominance reflects the industry’s continued shift toward outsourced production. Eyeline (Netflix’s VFX and research studio) and The Walt Disney Company followed. Cloud Imperium Games and Electronic Arts tied as the most active dedicated game studios at 14 roles each. VFX and film pipeline studios again filled most of the top 10.

8% of June listings included salary data, in line with May. Salary transparency remains highest in North America and the UK. The ranges below reflect available data from 132 listings, normalized to USD equivalent. European and Asian postings rarely include compensation figures.

June was the steadiest month of 2026 so far. Week 2 (June 8-14) peaked at 400 jobs, but volume held remarkably flat through Weeks 1, 3, and 4 (387, 348, 341). Unlike May’s sharp mid-month surge and drop, June hiring stayed consistent, a sign of stable demand heading into summer.
