Playtesting

Feedback makes all the difference!

At Universally Speaking, we’re composed of all kinds of players who love all kinds of games – from hardcore competitive shooters to casual mobile experiences, and everything in between.

Your games will be playtested on our secure campus (security vetted by Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, and Oculus) where we maintain the utmost standards on confidentiality. We can also use the data collated from the feedback of these playtests to produce a stylised internal review, like what you’d read at launch.

We offer complete, scalable playtesting solutions and extensive, honest feedback to help make your games the best they can be.

Universally Speaking is a complete end-to-end localization studio. We translate into any language.

Quality is our focus, which we ensure through our use of native, in-country, game-centric linguists.

To us, localization is about more than just translation. It’s about providing full narrative immersion for your players. By being culturalization-focused, we communicate the essence of a narrative so that it is emotionally accessible on an international scale – removing geopolitical and cultural blockers, understanding user demographics and intersectional issues.

It is our passion for games that our partners love about us. Sharing that passion enables us to fully integrate into their workflow and process, our in-depth industry knowledge providing them with customized solutions to suit their needs.
