Game Developer is expanding its freelance roster for 2026 and beyond, actively scouting experienced and emerging writers who understand the depth of the gaming industry. This is not a one-off pitch call; it is a standing pipeline for commissioning future features, commentary, and reported pieces across game development and interactive media.

Writers accepted into their radar may be contacted directly for assignments or invited to pitch on specific themes when editorial gaps open. The publication is particularly interested in voices that can translate complex development processes, studio dynamics, design decisions, and industry shifts into sharp, readable features.

Pitch pathways include a structured web form for onboarding freelance interest, alongside direct email submissions for feature ideas. Writers are expected to demonstrate strong editorial instincts, original angles, and familiarity with gaming ecosystems, from indie development to AAA production pipelines.
