Hi Kingston!
Video game designer salaries vary based on experience, location, and company size. In the U.S., entry-level designers earn around $50,000–$70,000 per year, while experienced designers can make $80,000–$120,000+. Senior and lead designers at major studios can earn $150,000+.

Top-paying locations include California, Texas, and Washington, where big studios like EA, Blizzard, and Nintendo operate. Indie developers may earn less but have more creative freedom.

If you're serious about game design, consider studying game development, computer science, or interactive media. Building a strong portfolio with personal projects will also help you break into the industry.

It depends on where you live and how grown-up the game industry is there. In some places, getting a job as a Game Designer can be tricky. But since you’re in the US, it’s more likely because the game industry is big and strong there. According to Salary.com, salaries of Game Designer in Washington can range from a low of $69,594 to a high of $100,415.

But before you decide, think about why you want to be a Game Designer. It’s not just about making fun games; there are also important jobs to do that you might not like. There are other fun jobs in games too, like being a Game Tester who plays games to find problems or a Game Artist who draws cool characters and worlds. Try exploring a few and see what you like best. Have fun figuring it out!
