A culture where everyone can thrive
We make games for global audiences across the boundaries of culture, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality so our development teams are stronger if they reflect that. Games are full of subtleties that can create affection and loyalty in a wide variety of people, and we are not here to appeal to only a narrow section of society.
So many teams talk about diversity and just drop it in as a buzzword or write flashy blog posts that sit and gather dust. But we truly believe in diversity and the positive impact it has on our team and studio. We're ready to do the hard work to be properly inclusive.
Sincerely
Studio Head

We are designing for and inviting a broad base of fans and communities by supporting diversity and inclusion. We strive to lead the games industry in this space.
WE STRIVE TO ENSURE EVERYONE FEELS HEARD, VALUED, AND LIKE THEY BELONG.
If you take creative people from different corners of the world with different upbringings, who mutually respect and trust each other, innovation will happen. There are beautiful examples of this dynamic innovation surrounding us everywhere in all kinds of unpredictable forms (like the Force)!
Our teams should be empowered to create content they consider uniquely authentic to their own identities and backgrounds, which has the chance to resonate with our players from all around the world.
Diversity in the studio allows the team to approach problems from different perspectives and find more creative solutions.
DE&I teams ensure that all kinds of perspectives are being considered and included across all parts of the business, giving fresh ideas a chance and making us better game makers!
Diversity helps me grow as a person. It reminds me to walk in someone else's shoes and see something from someone else's perspective.
Diversity in games allows the games to connect to a wider audience, allowing more people to feel seen and feel included in the gaming community.
To me, diversity, equity, and inclusion is about embracing our entire community of players. It's about deeply understanding that our games are played everywhere and by everyone.
Whenever I see another non-binary person in games I am filled with joy and remember that I do belong here. Everyone should feel like they belong.
Striving to be authentic and inclusive improves every part of the games we make and the team we're building at SHG.
I am proud to be working in such a diverse team. Having people with different backgrounds can really help tackle problems and challenges in our workplace.
The kaleidoscope committee helps sledgehammer games achieve our goal of having an inclusive culture that embraces diversity, and where everyone can thrive. A group of passionate employees from range of disciplines roles come together to kaleidoscope to support diversity in our people, leadership, culture, and content.
Activision's employee networks are groups formed to my employees with a sense of passion and responsibilities of diversity and inclusion.
