A couple of these policies include HR system options expanding beyond binary male/female gender identities and mandatory unconscious bias training for all employees. The report was also made public as an acknowledgment by Rockstar that it should be doing better while reaffirming its continued commitment to closing this gap.Īlthough the report does focus on male/female demographics within the studio-based mainly on payment equality, there are other policy improvements listed to help with overall diversity at Rockstar Games.

Even as game companies increasingly recognize the influence of women in gaming, and as developers attempt to tackle issues like gender employment bias and representation, a gender pay gap remains. A gender pay gap exists in the video game industry which affects the largest developers of AAA games.
