What G.Round is
G.Round is a playtesting and marketing platform for game studios and publishers. Open Public Tests let a broad player audience try unreleased games and submit reviews and surveys. Focus Group Tests target selected demographics and include a live dashboard for player behavior, progress, and feedback. Private tests use a launcher that encrypts builds and restricts unauthorized access; tester NDAs and gameplay video and audio recording are also part of those tests. Competitive Beta Tests use tournament formats with groups of 1,000–10,000 users for community building and final gameplay and technical checks. Launch Marketing packages may include PR and media exposure, influencer marketing, gameplay content, early reviews, and G.Round exposure. The company says its gamer community spans 250 regions. Its tester FAQ describes available titles as upcoming, unreleased PC and console games, and says mobile testing is not currently supported for players. Players access games using a Steam key or the G.Round Launcher. Pricing includes one-time test options and an annual G-Pass Indie plan at $100.00 per month, with a required annual payment of $1,200.
