Your first playtest

01 · Pick your path

Play what you’re best at.

Choose a specialist path. Your missions, achievements and rankings follow it, and studios invite specialists first.

02 · Play it first

Get the build before anyone else.

Studios send missions to players on your path: Bug Hunts, Feedback Quests and Endurance Tests on games that aren’t out yet.

03 · Say what you saw

Your report lands in the right place.

Report the moment it happens. It goes straight to the studio, grouped with what other players found, with your name on it.

04 · Change the game

The fix ships. You get the credit.

When a studio ships something you reported, it lands on your profile as Impact: proof you helped make the game better.

The Echo Loop

One loop. Two sides of the same bridge.

For studios

Evidence for every decision.

See where players struggle, why, and what to fix first. Every change you ship links back to the reports behind it.

For players
