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.
