Play Future Video Games And Get Paid For It!

Did you know that all future video games must be tested before they are released? Did you also know that people, just like you, are being paid great sums of money to do that testing? No? Well, don't be surprised. Most gamers have no idea that they could be making a living doing their favorite thing in the world -- playing video games!

How Can I Begin Testing Future Video Games?

Unfortunately, becoming a video game tester is not as easy as opening up the classifieds section of your newspaper. You can't simply call up LucasArts, EA Games, Epic Games, or some other developer and ask them to give you a chance -- it's not that easy. To start, you're going to have to get yourself out there and look for reliable job opportunities. This means anything from offering to test games for free to sending out your video game tester resume to every game developer in the country.

How Much Will I Really Make Testing Video Games?

You might not make as much as what those ads say -- the ones that suggest game testers make $120 per hour -- but you won't exactly be poor either. Video game testers can make anywhere from $400 a week to $800 a week or more; all depending on the number of testing jobs they have and the developers they are working for.

The amount a tester can earn really depends on their own attitude and the effort they put in towards their job. If the tester is only doing it as a hobby to make some quick cash, well, they probably won't be swimming in money. On the other hand, if the tester is serious about his/her game testing, let's just say money problems will be few and far between.

What Type of Work Will I Do?

As the name suggests, you will be testing future video games. This means you'll be playing the latest new video games -- be it online or console -- in order to find out if anything is wrong with them. If there happens to be something wrong with the game, you fill out a simple report sheet detailing the problem, and you're done -- it's really that easy.
