Session Name:

The State of Mental Health in the Games Industry

Overview:

Let's talk about what's really going on with mental health in the game industry. This panel will share findings from the 2025 Mental Health in the Game Industry study, debuting at GDC 2026. Built by mental health experts who understand game dev, the study digs into what's stressing developers out, what support actually helps, and where studios are falling short. We'll share findings from the study, break down the data, and offer practical, no-fluff recommendations for making studios healthier, more supportive places to work.
