I am a Tester Looking For Opportunity

[Leader of the Zakonistians]

Hello, I am a video game tester looking for some new assignments. I mostly look for glitches, unusual effects, or anything that isn't meant to be. If you have a game you'd like tested or reviewed, send me a message. We'll discuss business

I, too, am looking to play games for free.

There are some indie game devs that do look for testers but usually not on the main forums.

Devs don't pay people to test anymore. They've figured out how to get the players to pay the developers for the privilege of testing these days.

You need to contact the developers/publishers.

Here is 2 that are still in early access:

Prehistoric Kingdom
Galactic Civilizations 4: Supernova

That's not true I've had multiple jobs in just the pasts few weeks. It wasn't paid but they did offer to pay

Random Developers most likely don't read the steam sections. Contact a Developer if you want to help bug test the game etc.

Do you have anyone in mind who is looking for a tester right now?

If you've pre-ordered any games they have been awful, bug ridden, graphical messes.

You've lived in that fantasy world and paid to do it.

OP this is just plain user forum, not a job hunt, can try contacting game devs across all places, looking on twitter, Facebook, Reddit, discord, itch.io, checking games that not released, or under early access, and so on.


Most devs/publishers pass on those testing to their consumer that buy their games, or invite them with free copy, and fixes things when their player base report bug. A lot of people are doing it freely instead of getting paid, and very common actually when look across most places for PC, and console.

So yes devs seeking to pay for video game tester are not as common as used to be for almost two decades when comes to console, and PC, since we have fast internet, and everyone can communicate way more easier than before. So best of luck finding your next one, you may have more luck finding a job on the mobile market, or web browsers games.

I'm aware. I made a joke.
If you do test games, I certainly hope your bug reports are more detailed than some of those in your post history. They usually need more than just "Game borked. Wat do?"

This. Play testing used to be a job. If you shipped a broken game, then it stayed broke.

Now they can just ship a game in a broke state and patch it later. People will even pay the devs for the right to play a broken game early.

A good dev doesn't need eloquent bug reports. The can just watch the community malding, and look for common complaints.
