With PlaytestCloud’s Competitor Testing, you can playtest a competitor’s game (or your own!) with experienced players of that game. The players will play using their existing accounts and their existing in-game progress.
In short, that means you can watch them play the game exactly as they would play it day in - day out: They will record their gameplay sessions and think-aloud, letting you understand exactly why they play how they play.
To give you some inspiration, these are examples of playtests you could run using this playtesting mode:
Longitudinal studies with long-term Clash of Clans players (Townhall 12+) who record their day-to-day gameplay and talk you through their strategies and motivations.
Single-session playtests with highly ranked Hearthstone players to understand the strategies they develop after a new expansion pack launches.
Playtests with churned players, who re-enter the game they churned from during their playtest and share their reasons for churning & explore the new content that has been added since they last played.
Competitor Testing requires no build and works with iOS, Android and PC games.
