For the fourth time, Gamecity Hamburg is offering game developers from the city the opportunity to showcase their games to a large number of gaming enthusiasts at the Game Playtest Night. This time, the Game Playtest Night will take place on November 6 from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm in Hamburg's XPERION - the gaming event space with 100 high end gaming PCs on the 4th floor of Media Markt at the main train station.

The event is intended as a relaxed after-work event for all interested gamers and visitors to XPERION aged 18 and over. In three hours, up to 120 guests can play the games presented - alone or together in multiplayer -, give feedback to the developers, and have a lively chat with people who are just as enthusiastic about video games as they are.

How can I apply?

Interested developers simply follow the link to our registration form and register before the deadline on October 26 ends. The application form asks for basic information about the game to be test played and the number of gaming stations required. It is possible to run one game on several gaming stations at the same time, as long as there are enough developers on hand to supervise. This applies to both single-player and multiplayer titles. A trailer or other files briefly explaining the gameplay mechanics may also be added. Developers are also asked to consider the number of game stations they can supervise at the same time and a suitable evaluation method (online questionnaire, paper questionnaire, survey for the test players, etc.) so that they can collect and evaluate feedback as efficiently as possible. The Gamecity Hamburg team is gradually putting together a diverse selection of games and will notify all applicants and participating developers with further details.

How to participate as play tester?

The ticket sale for all interested play tester will start soon. Keep an eye out on the Gamecity Hamburg social media channels and our website!
