Playtesting

WHAT'S PLAYTESTING ?

At Larian Studios, we highly value the feedback and opinions of our player community to improve the game we currently have in development. By joining our playtester program, you'll gain the power to influence the way our titles evolve. Playtesters get a firsthand look at some of the biggest games we have in production (some of which might be unannounced!). You will be given exclusive rewards like free games and merchandise just for providing your opinions. It's also important to know that if you join us for an extended playtest (see below), you will be paid to play our games and provide feedback.

All you need is:

  • A love for RPGs
  • Fluent reading and writing comprehension in English
  • Willingness to commit to at least one full day of in-person playtesting at one of our offices
  • The ability to provide clear and concise feedback
  • Commitment to a non-disclosure agreement

THERE ARE NO ONGOING PLAYTESTING SESSIONS AT THE MOMENT...

HOW DOES IT WORK?

So, what does a typical playtest at Larian Studios look like? We’re glad you asked! Although we offer different types of playtests, the goal is always the same: We want to give you the chance to check out and provide feedback on our games, both released and unreleased, so we can better understand how real players experience them.

Here are the two most common playtesting sessions we offer:

01

Extended Playtest

Extended playtests collect your feedback over multiple days to help us learn how you interact with our games over an extended period of time. These take place over multiple weeks and are paid contracts.

02

Focus Group

A focus group is a group discussion where a researcher or moderator will ask each member of the group to contribute and share their thoughts and experiences about a particular feature. Focus groups typically last only one day, and rewards for participating will vary depending on the region.
