Our purpose

Since 2014 PlaytestCloud has helped studios reduce churn and drop-out rates while improving user-experience and player enjoyment. In short: we help game studios create better games! Our product has been used by more than 45 of the top 100 grossing games currently in the Apple App Store. Of the game studios that make these 100 games, 60% are PlaytestCloud customers - which makes us an undeniable leader in mobile games user research. 

In a nutshell, PlaytestCloud provides an easy to use platform to conduct various playtests for mobile games at any stage of game development – from prototyping, to release, and beyond. We connect game studios with a diverse set of international, real players, allowing studios to record authentic, diverse and ‘everyday’ people playing mobile games. PlaytestCloud defines ‘playtesting-as-a-service’: We provide customers with recordings and insights of players trying out their games, have the best games user researchers available for any support needed, and even allow studios to talk and gather feedback from players directly. 

We represent the leading remote-based playtesting solution built specifically for mobile games in the market. Every feature, report, widget, button was built and deployed with our client-centric mindset. In addition we represent the smart, hard working, passionate and dedicated PlaytestCloud team, that we cheer for and treat ‘people first’.

What makes PlaytestCloud special?

PlaytestCloud is a bootstrapped and profitable company, with our growth driven by the profits generated from our operations. We believe in sustainable growth, hiring effectively and building a long-term orientation in our decision making.

We believe great ideas can come from anywhere in the organization and we encourage every team member to share theirs, keeping our egos at rock bottom. Our employees are our prized assets and we endeavor that they stay with us for the long term, which is why we focus on constantly providing motivating targets along with great culture and benefits for everyone at PlaytestCloud. We create frameworks that make work life more uncomplicated and allow employees to work in a relaxed and positive environment with low bureaucracy. 

At PlaytestCloud we welcome diversity, and believe everyone should have a fair chance at setting a high score. We are an equal opportunity employer in every sense of the word. We have female leaders in management and we actively promote diversity of nationalities, gender and backgrounds – as shown by our team, with people from 18 nationalities. We are also active supporters of the LGBTQIA+ community, and are committed to providing an inclusive environment for everybody who works here or with us.

Our company history in short

Our culture

Diversity & inclusion statement

At PlaytestCloud, we believe in an inclusive culture. We are aware that each individual may experience inclusion differently, meaning that we offer different types of support to make people feel they have become part of the “we”. We committed ourselves to inclusion when becoming part of the ‘Inklupreneur’ movement (Inklupreneur supports companies on their way to an inclusive work culture and thus create jobs for people with disabilities)!

We cherish honest and open feedback while treating each other respectfully and securing a warm and healthy working environment.

We promote diversity, equity, and belonging, recognize the importance of diversity and aim to build teams that embrace it. We welcome diverse perspectives and harness the strengths that they can bring to PlaytestCloud. After all, if everyone had the same background and experience, it would limit the field of perspective and knowledge. Being a diverse team, we are able to approach things differently, find fresh perspectives, develop innovative solutions, and create new ideas which can increase the likelihood of achieving our goals.

Our leadership principles

We believe that our company-wide performance is directly related to how well our people managers motivate, guide, and develop our employees. We are convinced that our leadership quality has a strong impact on our success. 

There are many different leadership styles, which is why we encourage our people managers to bring their individual style to the table. With that in mind, maintaining a common ground for how we as a company approach leadership is important – which is why our leadership team follows our “PlaytestCloud Leadership Principles” - a set of actions and guiding beliefs:

1. Be a role model who leads by example.

2. Know your vision and values.

3. Change for the better.

4. Trust one another.

5. Encourage people to be proud.

6. Promote diverse and differing perspectives.

7. Show empathy and take mistakes as experiences.

8. Actively listen first, talk last.

9. Help to develop future leaders.
