What are the main differences between "software interaction design" and "game interaction design"?

For small companies, these two positions are actually similar in terms of job content, both doing user interface design. However, for larger companies or R&D teams, these two positions have their own niche areas.

Interaction designers mainly study the relationship between user needs and the interface, and according to this relationship, design and plan the product's functions and interface interaction modules. For example, to make a website, interaction designers mainly consider the question of who the target group of this website is, what needs to satisfy them, and what kind of operating habits the target users have. According to analyze the relevant demand research data, interaction designers will establish one or several user models, and then analyze the use habits of these users to establish the design prototype of the website, this prototype can be an ordinary photo frame draft, or may be a high-fidelity model, but does not need to design element details and specific visual effects. Generally speaking, this is the end of an interaction designer's job description.

UI designers, as the name suggests, will focus more on user interface design, the previous user model, requirements analysis and what not, UI designers generally do not need to participate in the interaction designers to take care of these tasks, completed a design prototype, UI designers and then the details of the page design and optimization, so UI designers will be rooted in the visual side of the work of some.

But the intersection of these two jobs is still a lot, if you do interaction with UI design experience, then do the product prototype will be more standardized and beautiful, if you do UI design with interaction design experience, then in the specific design will be more concerned about the user needs and user experience, so there are companies recruiting interaction designers, to be responsible for the UI side of the work, there are companies recruiting UI, but want to have interaction designers, to be responsible for the UI side of the work. The UI is the most important part of the UI design process, but it is important to have a background in interaction design.
