Get the in-depth information on your concepts

Running a concept test is as easy as creating a slideshow. Players will view your presentation and speak aloud as they answer your questions. Concept testing is great for testing anything and everything from concept art, to gameplay stories, or even late development content.

The earliest opportunity for user-testing

The earliest opportunity for user-testing

It’s never cheaper to make changes than in pre-production. Start getting user feedback early to make sure your game finds the right audience.

“Ideas are not like fine china, ideas are like paper cups — they are cheap to manufacture, and if one has a hole in it, go get another one” - Jesse Schell

Trusted by 60% of the studios behind the App Store's top 100 games

We're powering playtesting for thousands of producers, user researchers, game designers and others passionate about player experience.

Testers record their gameplay and give you interviews. In the end, being able to involve players in many ways is probably the best thing about PlaytestCloud. Because, for us, it’s all about the play, the player, and the game feeling.
