Methodology: medians reconcile live advertised UK salaries for this role and region; 25th–75th percentiles are shown only where at least 5 live salaried listings back them. They are measured or omitted, never interpolated. Rows marked indicative are anchored to our curated 2026 baseline ranges until enough live data accrues. Listings advertising an implausible annual figure (a mislabelled hourly or daily rate) are excluded rather than converted, because converting one means guessing the hours behind it.
Indicatively £28,000–£40,000 manual, £40,000–£60,000 automation and £55,000–£70,000 for leads and SDETs.
No. Games QA is typically £24,000–£32,000 and often temporary; it is an entry route rather than the market rate.
Right to work, references and a testing exercise; ISTQB is often required.
