In their own words
G.Round
G.ROUND is a game playtesting and marketing platform for studios and publishers. Open Public Tests let a global audience play unreleased games and submit reviews and surveys. Focus Group Tests target selected player demographics in controlled sessions, with a real-time dashboard for behavior, progress, and feedback. Its launcher encrypts builds and restricts unauthorized access; private tests also use tester NDAs and record gameplay video and audio for feedback and security monitoring. Competitive Beta Tests use tournament formats and groups of 1,000 to 10,000 users for community building and final gameplay and technical checks. Launch Marketing packages may include media and PR, influencer marketing, gameplay content, early reviews, and G.ROUND exposure. The site says its gamer community spans 250 regions. Players access games through Steam keys or the G.ROUND Launcher. Tester information describes upcoming, unreleased PC and console titles, while mobile testing is not currently supported for players. Pricing includes one-time tests and an annual G-Pass plan.
Playcocola
Playcocola is a browser-based playtesting service connecting game developers with people who record and comment on games. It focuses especially on indie developers. Playtesters can record a whole screen, one application, or a browser tab without installing software or registering to record. During a session they may add microphone commentary, attach notes to specific moments, and leave feedback afterward; video uploads continue automatically during recording. Developers upload builds, attach them to sessions, and can require customizable checkboxes before a download appears. Public sessions can invite the Playcocola community. The service describes setup as requiring zero integration. Its free Hobbyist plan includes one hour of video recording, thinking-aloud recording, text feedback, invitations to personal testers, and one-week video storage. Indie costs 2.00 EUR per 20 minutes, while Premium costs 7.00 EUR per 20 minutes and adds community tester recruitment. Playtesters may receive credits, discounts, purchases, points, or Discord roles.
