Yes, PlaytestCloud has years of experience confidentially testing unreleased games by game studios and media companies worldwide. We treat all games tested with PlaytestCloud as confidential and employ legal and technical measures to keep them safe during testing.
As part of this approach, we take many precautions to keep your game safe. For example, all of our players must agree to a strict non-disclosure agreement before each test and their entire interaction with the game is recorded. Once a playtest is over we remotely deactivate the game build, effectively locking players out from being able to play outside of the playtest. Read more about how PlaytestCloud protects all games we test.
