‘Excellent’ gamers wanted

You’ll get to play whatever new games the developer has in the pipeline before anyone else, testing them out and giving feedback on areas of improvement.

According to the job listing, you’ll need to quickly learn and master the games and applications the company might have you testing, and provide “critical analysis and feedback”.

It’s not quite as simple as being paid to play video games all day – you’ll be on the hunt for glitches and bugs in early builds of games, reproducing any found issues, and reporting them in detailed reports.

A “keen” interest in video games is a must, as is an “excellent gaming ability”, and “an interest in and understanding of the video game industry.”

Education to degree level is desirable along with previous industry experience, and having a knowledge of all the current generation of games consoles, PCs and mobile devices will certainly help your chances of success.

You’ll also need “the ability to work well under workload pressure and to strict deadlines”, which fits in with reports of overworked employees and unpaid overtime during the final phases of Red Dead Redemption 2’s development.

Applicants must be 18 years of age and above, and the two-step interview process will involve an initial video call, after which you may be invited for an in-studio chat.
