How do I become a video game tester?

You have to be great player to test games. Your experience is also counted for how long you have been playing games and how much you know about them, but that is far from the only skill you need as a paid video game tester. The two other important skills, or traits, you must possess are these: good eye for detail & an ability to write well (I.E. can spell correctly, use proper grammar, and knows the proper usage of punctuation).

Both skills are crucial for testing games and money because while one will allow you to spot the glitches & bugs, the other will allow you to quickly & accurately tell the readers (which are the game's programmers) where & how to find those problems.



Be proactive – search the internet for genuine job listings. Check all of the games publisher’s websites, check online games industry jobs agencies, join recruitment agencies that deal with games testing job vacancies, and send off speculative CV’s.

This will help you find the right job for yourself.
