Quality Assurance
Virtual Reality
In XR, a bug isn't just an annoyance; it breaks the illusion.
We are at the forefront of immersion testing, bringing extensive experience across VR, AR, and MR platforms. We test for comfort, tracking fidelity, and performance stability, ensuring that your virtual worlds feel tangible, responsive, and comfortable for every user.
Alpha / Beta Milestones
Whether you are validating a grey-box prototype or polishing a release candidate, our testing adapts to your development lifecycle. We provide targeted support for every major milestone from Alpha to Beta and beyond ensuring that critical tracking, interaction, and immersion issues are caught long before they reach the player.
Compliance
Navigating the specific Virtual Reality Checks (VRCs) for platforms like Meta Quest, PlayStation VR2, and SteamVR can be complex. Our team is fully versed in these rigorous standards. We don't just test for compliance; we can validate and manage your entire submission process, ensuring a smooth approval on the first attempt.
Functional QA
VR brings a unique set of functional challenges, from physics glitches to locomotion bugs. Drawing on our vast experience across all major platforms, we apply rigorous functional testing standards to your immersive world. We hunt down the bugs that break immersion, ensuring your mechanics work flawlessly in 3D space.
Play Testing
How does your game feel to a VR veteran versus a complete newcomer? We curate diverse playtest groups tailored to your specific genre and target audience. By gathering feedback from a wide spectrum of players, we help you fine-tune the "feel" of your game, identifying pain points and ensuring your title resonates with the market.
Full Hardware Support
The VR hardware landscape is fragmented, but we have it covered. Our lab is equipped with the full spectrum of headsets, from standalone devices like the Quest series to high-end PC VR setups and console-based systems. We verify your title's performance and compatibility across this entire range, ensuring a consistent experience regardless of the user's kit.
Release Management
Launching a VR title involves more than just hitting "upload." We support your release strategy with comprehensive management services, including storefront verification, pricing checks, and live environment testing. We are there to support you during the critical launch window, ensuring your game goes live without a hitch.
Immersion Without Interruption
True immersion demands flawless execution. We bring a specialised discipline to the unique challenges of XR, testing for comfort, interaction fidelity, and performance in 3D space. By rigorously protecting the sense of presence against technical breaks, we elevate your project, ensuring your players remain completely captivated by the virtual worlds you have built.

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.
