The IGDA Games Research and User Experience Special Interest Group (IGDA GRUX SIG) aims to improve games by improving the state of games user research and user experience work. Our main approach to doing this is to facilitate community and information sharing among user researchers and user experience professionals at game companies, consultants, and academia.

Admission into the group is limited to professional game developers, user research and user experience professionals, and those in academia (professors & graduate students) in fields related to games research and/or game development.

The GRUX-SIG is part of the International Games Developer Association.
