Game Tester
What it is
Game Tester is a testing and feedback platform for game developers, publishers, and production or QA managers. Developers can run customized tests, surveys, polls, and user research from concept through launch, covering topics such as levels, difficulty, multiplayer, gameplay, early access, market research, and player acquisition. Tests are configured with a self-service wizard, and feedback reports update as testers submit results. The developer page describes a pool of more than 400,000 authenticated gamers, with demographic filters; the company characterizes them as real gamers rather than professional QA testers and says the audience is primarily younger. Developers can distribute PC builds by upload, download link, or platform key, iOS builds through public TestFlight links, and Android builds as APK files. The service has a REST API for 20+ major game engines and a Unity wrapper. Confidential tests use an NDA. Five questions are included per test; each additional 10 costs $1.50 per tester. New registrants can receive $100 in credit, valid for 90 days.
