Join our team
the Player Insights Platform™

What we do and how it works

01.
Better player feedback, better games

We make it easy for video game studios, publishers and accelerators to access player feedback (and ultimately make better games).

02.
Games research on-demand

Game studios securely upload their game, concept or prototype to the Player Insights Platform™, define their target audience and select the type of feedback they need.

03.
We do the hard part

Our platform distributes the game to players in our panel who fit the target audience. The players receive instructions and are recorded playing the game. As soon as they finish the playtest, they receive payment.

04.
Here's the fun part

The studio receives the recordings, transcripts and AI analysis of their game within 48 hours and uses these player insights to improve their game.

PlaytestCloud Company Values

These are the four core traits that we prioritize, aspire to and celebrate.

Bias to Action

Everyone is empowered to take ownership, fix inefficiencies, solve problems, test new ideas and challenge the status quo. Perfection is the enemy of done, and everything is a work in progress. 

Momentum is our default, driving us all forward, without letting fear of failure slow us down.

Keep it Real

We don’t stand on ceremony or let hierarchy get in the way of proactive problem solving. We make smart, evidence-based decisions (just like our customers) to align our teams and ensure our progress is sustainable and effective.

Transparency creates clarity, clarity drives alignment, and alignment builds consistency.

Multiply the Delight

We create joy by delivering an unexpectedly great experience to our customers and to our colleagues. We empower our customers to build better experiences for their customers, so their success is our success.

We make the boring things fun while getting them done.

All Players Welcome

We celebrate differences and uphold a safe space where everyone can bring their full, authentic self to work without fear of judgement or discrimination. 

We always do what’s right, even when it’s uncomfortable or hard, and we are fierce allies in the face of injustice.

Mentorship & Support

Level Up: Women* of PlaytestCloud

Female-identifying and non-binary people make up nearly half of all video game players worldwide, but are severely underrepresented in the industry. We're working to change that. Our Level Up mentorship program supports our teammates as they navigate their careers and lives, and sponsors events and initiatives that actively support these and other underrepresented groups.
