C# is important as well, as it's what Unity uses.
Java for Android phones, obviously.
C++ for those using Unreal Engine.
Both Java, C#, and C++ have (to various degrees and with various restrictions) the option to be used for cross platform development.
However, many games are more scripting into a pre-built game engine either developed in-house or purchased externally, and that scripting is usually done using either Lua or some custom language specific to the game engine.
