Game Tester - What If It Was Possible For You To Make Up To $120 Dollars Per Hour Playing Video Games From Your Home. That Might Just Happen If You Become A Game Tester.
As a Game Tester you will be paid to play games at home. There are many questions people have around this issue of a game tester. Here are a few of the FAQ and their answers:
1. Why would companies pay me to beta test games?
The game industry is now over a $50 billion dollar business. In the case of nationwide companies, producing games that have bugs in them, games that the customers will return, means losing millions of dollars, and likely jobs. As a game tester, it will be your job to prevent that.
2. What, programmers can't catch all the glitches?
The answer is NO, programmers are not necessarily gamers, they won't find all the bugs that a gamer will. You, on the other hand, as the Game Tester
will find these bugs by playing the game in the normal way.
3. What kind of games will I beta test?
It will depend on the company, but all these games have been tested before release:
Age of Conan - Hyborian Adventures
UEFA Euro 2008
Team Fortress 2
Mass Effect
World In Conflict
4. If I want to be a Game Tester can I still go to school, or work my 9-5 job, what about Education requirements?
The answer is yes!
Most testing jobs don't require formal education.
You get paid up to $120 per hour. This will depend on your effort, knowledge, and experience.
Some jobs are 9-5, while others are test whenever you want; you will apply for the jobs that you like.
The only hard requirement is that you need to be 18 years of age or older.
5. As a Game Tester
Can I test games on the XBOX 360, PS2, PS3, PSP, Nintendo DS, Gameboy, etc?
Which games you will be testing will depend on the job you land. If you only want to test special games it will of course limit your opportunities as a game tester, but, it can be done. You apply for the jobs you like and work as a game tester on the systems you want.
