The incredible workstations of the world’s biggest game developers

18 August 2016

Those of you with desk jobs know that after some time, your work space slowly becomes your own.

A photo of your family, some desk toys, maybe a pot plant – soon that little corner of your office is your home away from home.

It’s no different for game developers who, despite working on incredible digital worlds instead of spreadsheets, still spend the majority of their day behind their desks.

But what do their workstations actually look like? Gamasutra recently contacted some of the industry’s best and brightest to find out.
