About remote roles

“Remote” covers several different arrangements in UK games listings. Some roles are fully remote within the UK, some are remote across Europe or a set of countries, and many are hybrid, expecting staff in a studio for part of the week or for key milestones. A listing marked “Remote, UK” almost always means the studio will only employ people who live in the UK and have the right to work here, often for payroll, tax and data-protection reasons.

Read the location line and the description together. A role tagged with both a city and “remote” may still require occasional travel to that office, and some studios state a time-zone window rather than a country. Studios sponsoring visas for remote staff are uncommon, so international candidates should check the right-to-work requirements before applying. Pay for fully remote roles is usually set against UK ranges, and some studios adjust it by region.

Remote work is most common in programming, production, data and some art roles, and less common for QA testers who need secured development hardware. The remote work guide explains how studios run remote teams and what they look for in remote candidates.
