Quality Assurance
Functional quality assurance
Great games are built on solid foundations. We bring a forensic discipline to Functional QA, systematically deconstructing your builds to identify, log, and help resolve every issue.
Working as a transparent extension of your team, we root out the Z-fights, freezes, and logic breaks to ensure your players experience your vision exactly as intended—bug-free and polished to perfection.
Team Integration
We don't just work for you; we work with you. Our teams are built on transparency and open communication, seamlessly integrating with your internal structures. By fostering genuine relationships and syncing with your workflows, we effectively become an extension of your studio, ensuring nothing gets lost in translation.
Scalable Teams
Whether you need a single specialist or a battalion of 200+ testers, we scale rapidly to meet your project's evolving demands. We curate our teams to match specific player profiles and demographics, ensuring you have the right eyes on your game at the right time, without the administrative headache of recruitment.
Multiple Shifts
Development never sleeps, and neither do we. With established shifts across GMT, PST, and AEST time zones, we offer true 24-hour support. This "follow-the-sun" model means we can test while you sleep, delivering fresh bug reports to your inbox by the time you log on in the morning.
Test Planning
Good testing starts with a solid plan. Our leads can handle every aspect of the strategy, from creating comprehensive test plans and writing intricate test scripts to managing daily task allocation. We ensure structured, methodical coverage that tracks every feature from concept to completion.
All Platforms
We maintain an extensive inventory of hardware including the latest dev kits for PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, alongside a vast library of PC configurations, mobile devices, and VR headsets. If your players can play on it, we can test on it.
Build & Deployment
We maximise testing time by handling build management efficiently. Our dedicated coordinators ensure new builds are downloaded, installed, and verified before our testers even sit down. This means every billable hour is spent finding bugs, not watching progress bars.
Multiplayer & Network QA
From stress-testing servers to validating cross-play functionality, we cover the full spectrum of network QA. We simulate real-world conditions including high ping, packet loss, and region throttling to ensure your multiplayer infrastructure holds up when the real players arrive.
Embedded
Sometimes, nothing beats face-to-face collaboration. Our Embedded QA service places our highly trained testers directly in your office. They sit with your developers, attend your stand-ups, and provide immediate feedback, offering the ultimate level of integration and agility.
Elevating Gameplay Through Precision Testing
Perfection is a process, not an accident. We bring a forensic discipline to Functional QA, systematically deconstructing your game to ensure every mechanic holds up under pressure. By identifying and resolving issues with precision—from the smallest glitch to critical blockers—we elevate your project, ensuring the final experience is as polished and immersive as your vision intended.

Case Studies
Read more on some of the exciting projects we've supported, and find out how our unique flexible approach can solve unique challenges.
Fireside Feelings
For Indie titles, budgets are often small and bang for buck is king, so how did Universally Speaking partner with The CoLab to bring AAA quality on an Indie budget for their debut title, Fireside Feelings?
Remastering a AAA Classic
When the title is a remake of a much acclaimed AAA classic, how do you do justice to the source material moving into new languages? Easy, you call US.
Fluent in Horror
Oooh, that was creepy. But is it creepy in Swedish? How about Japanese? When the title is a narrative horror game, getting the tone wrong breaks immersion and can turn a thriller into a farce.
