Jason Schreier (born May 10, 1987) is an American journalist and author who primarily covers the video game industry.
[2][3] He attended the Gallatin School of Individualized Study at New York University (NYU), graduating with a degree in writing in 2009.
[6] Around 2011, Schreier was contacted by Stephen Totilo, the editor-in-chief for the website Kotaku, offering him a position as a full-time news reporter.
[5] Besides standard reporting on video game news, Schreier gained an early reputation at Kotaku for getting stories from developers about their inside processes for various titles.
[8][9] In addition to working conditions, Schreier wrote stories on the development histories of troubled or canceled video games, typically through reporting from anonymized workers.
[5] Schreier said of his reason for departure, "I’ve been through a lot of cataclysmic shifts because it always felt like, through it all, we were guided by people who always cared about journalism, and unfortunately, I'm not sure that’s the case anymore.
[1][20] On June 24, 2018, Schreier married Amanda Coleman, a litigation associate at Cravath, Swaine & Moore, whom he had met at NYU.
