Hitmarker, the leading jobs platform in gaming, has published data on the top hiring companies for internships in gaming and esports for 2022 (so far).

The data: This list is for paid internships, with unpaid roles not being accepted on Hitmarker.

  • The data is taken from listings on our platform, the most comprehensive source of jobs across gaming and esports.
  • As to be expected, AAA game studios dominate the list. They're typically the largest companies in the industry and, as such, post more opportunities than most.
  • Earlier in October, Hitmarker shared that there hasn't been an improvement in the proportion of paid internships in gaming over the last three years.

The findings: There are plenty of familiar names on the list.

  • Electronic Arts leads the way so far with 64 paid internships being opened. Ubisoft and Epic Games round out the top three with 61 and 43 listings respectively.
  • Other major companies such as League of Legends developer Riot Games (29), Apex Legends developer Respawn Entertainment (26), and Rockstar Games parent company Take-Two Interactive (18) are among the top hiring companies for interns.
  • Team Liquid is the only esports company in the top 10 with 16 paid internships posted in 2022 so far. The next esports-focused company to make the list is Swiss organization Team BDS with five roles.
