If you are looking to peek into what makes your closest rivals successful, PlaytestCloud's competitor playtesting is there to help. With PlaytestCloud’s competitor playtesting, you can see and hear how players interact with a game downloaded directly from the App Store, Google Play, Steam, ... and nearly every other place where players get games.
You can also have experienced players play your target game using their own accounts to observe their long term experience with that game.
Running a competitor playtest with PlaytestCloud doesn't require you to have a "build" (e.g. an APK file) of the competitor's game: You can point players directly to the app store or website where the game can be downloaded.
Step by step guide to ordering a competitor playtest:
1. Set up your playtest as normal in the order form. Choose the playtest type and key target audience demographics.
2. Find the URL through which players can find your game. Even though we'll look for players who already play your game, this helps our system guide players to the right game to play during the playtest.
3. Paste the URL into the Upload your game section of the order form (under the Mobile Game option) then click Submit.
4. After a brief check of the URL you will get a confirmation of the game you selected.
And that’s it! Configure the rest of your playtest as desired and then submit your order.
