Summary

Lysto is a player-experience platform that helps game studios turn feedback from real players into insights. Its research covers concept validation, first-time user experience, retention, gameplay, go-to-market, monetization, usability, publisher readiness, player archetypes, competition, funding and investment. Gameplay evaluations identify enjoyable and frustrating moments, assess challenge balance, and highlight features that may support replayability and long-term engagement. Studios can run concept tests, single- or multi-session playtests, and longitudinal studies. Lysto AI summarizes comprehension, friction, flow and challenge, and tags moments such as confusion or delight with timestamps. The platform says its global panel includes over 1 million verified gamers, filterable by demographics, genre and experience. It is paid, with pricing on request, and supports Android, iOS, web and Windows. Its platform is limited to laptop or desktop use and must remain full-screen. Android builds can be uploaded without SDK or code changes; iOS testing uses live App Store builds.
