Riot Games
riotgames.com
Riot Games is an American video game developer founded in 2006 that built League of Legends, the free-to-play team battle game that became one of the most played titles in the world and the foundation of modern esports. It has since released the tactical shooter Valorant, the card game Legends of Runeterra, the mobile title Wild Rift and the animated series Arcane, all set in the same fictional universe, and it operates the professional leagues around its games directly rather than licensing them out. Headquartered in Los Angeles and wholly owned by Tencent, it is unusual for running a small number of titles as very long-lived services.

How pay is distributed
Most employers in this selection do not publish a figure, so the range below is Alion's own estimate, derived from 45 comparable listings priced by role, level and country. Across them the middle half of the market sits between $51K and $57K a year, with a median of $51K. Figures are gross annual amounts converted to US dollars, so roles in different currencies stay comparable.
The market right now
Alion currently lists 186 open Game Developer Salary in Shanghai from 20 companies. 41 of them were posted or refreshed in the last seven days. 19 of the employers have posted something in the last three months, which is the pool worth watching if you are starting a search now. 26 of the 186 carry the marks of a stale or abandoned posting - open far beyond the usual time to fill, reposted, or on a board that mostly never closes a role - and are marked as likely inactive; the list can hide them. Every listing links straight to the employer, so you apply on their own board rather than through an intermediary.
Where the work is
The largest concentrations of these roles are China (186). Most of these positions are on-site roles tied to a specific office.
Who is hiring
The employers with the most open Game Developer Salary in Shanghai right now are miHoYo (61), Giant Network (19), Bilibili (18), Tencent (18), Riot Games (15), and Hypergryph (13). Each company page on Alion carries its size, funding stage, tech stack and every other position it has open, so you can judge the employer before you spend an evening on the application.
What employers ask for
Reading across the current listings, the tools that come up most often are C++ (44), Unreal Engine (25), Python (15), C# (14), Unity (11), Adobe Photoshop (8), Lua (8), and Maya (8). The counts are how many of these openings name each one, which is a better guide to what is actually being hired for than a generic skills list.
Relocation, visas and equity
Of the current Game Developer Salary in Shanghai, 6 offer a relocation package. These are filters on the list above, so you can narrow it to the ones that make a move possible for you.
