Ukie, the trade body for the UK games industry, has released its UK Games Industry Census. It offers some interesting figures on who makes up the industry and suggests progress is slowly being made.It’s the second census conducted by the company and the only one of its kind globally.
3,600 industry professionals across the UK completed it. It found that diversity within the industry has improved slightly compared to the previous census taken in 2020.According to the census, 67 per cent of the workforce is male, while 30 per cent are female and 3 per cent are non-binary.
That’s a slight change from the previous census, which found that 70 per cent of the industry was male, with 28 per cent female and just 2 per cent non-binary.The number of people who reported a sexuality other than heterosexual was up to 24 per cent from 21 per cent.
That’s a figure that Ukie reports is significantly higher than in the wider adult population. Most recently, the ONS found that the heterosexuality population in the UK was 93.7 per cent, so there is a significant difference here.The games industry remains predominantly young, with 61 per cent of the respondents listing their age as 35 or under in 2022.
