What Game Tester is
Game Tester is a platform for game developers, publishers, and production or QA managers to gather feedback from gamers throughout development. Developers can set up customized tests with a self-service wizard, then receive test reports and feedback in real time as participants submit results. The developer page describes a pool of more than 400,000 authenticated gamers and demographic filters for targeting. Test types include level, difficulty, multiplayer, gameplay, early access, market research, and player acquisition tests.
Build delivery varies by platform: developers can upload PC files, share download links or platform keys, use public TestFlight links for iOS, and upload Android APKs. The platform offers a REST API for 20+ major game engines and a Unity API wrapper. Confidential tests require testers to accept Game Tester’s NDA; developers can also provide their own terms. Each test includes five questions, with each additional 10 costing $1.50 per tester. Developers pay only for completed tests that meet requirements, including the post-test questionnaire. New registrants can receive $100 in credit, valid for 90 days.
