What Is a Video Game Tester?

Hello everyone i just got this new blog to tell everyone about video game testing. I am making this small post to first off just explain to everyone what exactly a video game tester does, and also what all the job entails. I will be adding new posts about every other day so if my first couple of posts do not explain everything that you want to hear, just come back in the next couple of days and i am sure your questions will be answered.  After a couple of weeks if you still do not have everything you need to be successful, just go ahead and email me at bloggin1126@gmail.com. That is my personal email address that i check 3 or 4 times per day. I am sure to get back to by the next day, if not that same day.

But anyways yes, what is a video game tester exactly? I have not been talking to much about this on any of my other websites that i currently am running and i have been getting an email or two a day asking me this question. First off NO, it is not just sitting in your room playing XBOX all night and getting aid 100 bucks an hour for it. Honestly for the most part, video game testing is playing games and looking for bugs inside the game. By bugs i mean small or maybe even big glitches. The bug could be something as small as a guy character on the game having a woman’s voice or something as big as walking straight through a wall. The bugs could be any number of things. Sometimes very easy to notice, but others you might have to play over and over again just to see.

That is the main part of the job. Really all that is left is make sure you give A LOT of feedback back about the game. These companies know that they can give their games out to people, and they say whether it is fun or not. That is not why they are paying you so much money. They are paying you to gve detailed reports back and also look for the bugs obviously. If you can do all of that you should be good to go. It is not at all a hard job to do just a little more time consuming than most people would like.

As for just starting out i would say join a company that will find all of the jobs for you. You know do the hard part for you. Most of them are scams so beware, but i did find one company that is ligit. It is called Elite Game Tester. Go ahead and click here to check it out!
