Digimon Story: Time Stranger
The Mission
Ensuring the title was correctly rated across the various regions was vital for its release.
Digimon is a huge IP with a very loyal fanbase, so making sure the title lived up to what fans expect from it was a core part of the project.
Physical copies brought their own demands, with the inlay information needing to be correct for consumers at release.
The Solution
Having a team familiar with the Digimon universe helped massively throughout the project. The team could spot any issues with characters and scenes that core fans would notice.
Every CQA tester on the project was an expert on their trained consoles, reflected in a 100% CQA pass rate across all projects and platforms for 2025, and a 98% overall pass rate since 2022.
Testers experienced with reading project inlay information documents and peripheral forms were vital to ensuring what is and isn't featured was correctly written on the physical copies of the title.
Constant communication throughout the project was key between the lead team and the client, to ensure the correct ratings were being submitted for each region.
The Outcome
Digital and physical copies of the title launched successfully worldwide, giving players confidence the title was rated appropriately, with correct information readily available.
The game launched to very positive reviews, meeting the expectations of its fans.
Digimon Story: Time Stranger obtained the October 2025 PlayStation Players' Choice award.
