Game Tester Jobs Overview
Do you want to work in an industry worth tens of billions of dollars in the U.S. and almost two hundred billion worldwide? Game tester jobs are one of the many careers for gamers for professionals who love games, but who also own a particular set of skills and experience in quality assurance. Game testers are often also called software testers or quality assurance testers. In game testing jobs you become part of a video game development process and work in collaboration with others to make sure the user experience of the final product will be top notch, free of bugs, and fun and enjoyable.
Not all video game tester jobs are the same and duties mainly change depending on whether you have to work on technical issues or user experience. In most jobs you are expected to play the game and gather information on bugs, playability, enjoyability and more. You are also required to challenge and stress the game by using it not as it’s intended to find possible weaknesses and identify possible cheating opportunities.
