Salary figures are median annual gross salaries drawn from company responses, with 50 companies taking part: 22 for Paris/Île-de-France and 28 for the regions. Job sheets were verified by a committee of industry professionals. The document is organised into five job families: Management de projet, Design, Image & Son, Technologie, and Edition et Support.

The introduction cites Newzoo for a forecast global games market revenue of 187.7 billion dollars for 2023. The introduction reports a 2.6% increase in global revenues in the first half of 2023 with forecast revenue of 187.7 billion dollars citing Newzoo, and cites the SNJV Baromètre 2023 indicating that more than 50% of studios declared recruiting during the year.

Salary data is not presented for the Edition et Support family because the jobs were not sufficiently represented among members to provide a viable statistical sample.
