Remote Game Tester Jobs in Albany, NY (NOW HIRING)

As a remote game tester, you play video games in a systematic way to identify bugs, problems, errors, and any other type of problem that damages the player’s experience of the game. Your duties include testing software or hardware according to a guide as well as trying to “break” the technology to create a more secure game. When you complete your test, you work with your manager to complete a report of the issue to send to the developer or manufacturer, including a description of the event, where it occurred, and what factors you believe contributed to it. As a remote game tester, you complete your responsibilities outside of a typical office, which may mean working at home or another independent location.

Remote Game Testers focus on playing and identifying bugs in video games, requiring gaming knowledge and attention to detail. Remote Quality Assurance Testers perform broader testing tasks, often with certifications and technical skills, covering various software products including games. While both roles work remotely in the gaming industry, Remote Game Testers typically concentrate on gameplay and bug reporting, whereas QA Testers handle comprehensive testing processes to ensure overall quality.
