About GBTN

GBTN is a community of gamers who help shape the future of video games. We partner with developers to test unreleased and in-development titles from the comfort of our members’ homes. Our community is essential for testing multiplayer games, verifying online infrastructure, and providing critical feedback on the user experience. If you are passionate about gaming and want a behind-the-scenes look at how games are made, this is a perfect opportunity for you.

The Role: What You'll Do

As a GBTN Community Tester, you will be invited to participate in paid, "on-call" test sessions. This is a highly flexible role with no set hours—you participate when you are available for an invited session.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Participating in scheduled game tests using your own personal hardware (PC, console, mobile device, VR headset, etc.) and internet connection from the comfort of your home
• Stress-testing multiplayer servers and online features
• Evaluating games for user experience (UX), gameplay feel, and balance
• Identifying and clearly reporting bugs, glitches, and other technical issues
• Providing detailed, constructive feedback through surveys and written reports

Please Note: This is Not a Job

This is not a full-time or part-time position. It is a flexible, paid, on‑call role.

• You will be paid for the specific test sessions you are invited to and choose to participate in
• This is an ideal role for students, gaming enthusiasts, retirees, or anyone looking to earn extra income while contributing to the gaming industry

Confidentiality is Critical

Due to the sensitive, pre‑release nature of the projects you will test, all GBTN members are required to sign a strict Non‑Disclosure Agreement (NDA).

• You must not discuss any aspect of the tests, games, or materials with anyone outside of the GBTN program
• Breaching the NDA will result in immediate removal from the program and potential legal action

Requirements

• Must be 18 years of age or older
• Access to a stable, high‑speed internet connection
• Own at least one gaming device (e.g., a PC, game console, mobile device, or VR headset)
• Must be willing and able to sign and strictly adhere to our Non‑Disclosure Agreement (NDA)

Nice‑to‑Haves (not required)

• Previous experience in game testing or Quality Assurance (QA)
• Familiarity with a wide variety of game genres

Why Join GBTN?

• Get Paid to Play: Earn money for participating in test sessions
• Ultimate Flexibility: Accept invitations that fit your schedule
• Behind‑Scenes Access: Be one of the first people in the world to play unreleased games
• Make an Impact: Your feedback directly helps developers improve their games
