Microsoft Game Testers Wanted
July 21st, 2006 Posted in News
Microsoft’s Game Technology Group is looking for official software testers for their upcoming projects. Preferably under the age of 18, particularly 6-12. Testers will be asked to play games and report any bugs or issues found in the game. If you are under 18, you do need parental consent. This seems like a good opportunity to not only help game developers, but play the latest upcoming games before anyone else, and brag about it. You can sign up here.

What about joining my mod team for UT2K7 once it gets going … all the details about my past experience can be found on one of the more recent threads around here … It’s the one that talks about in game advertising by Valve. If you are interested after checking out what we did with HaloUT then contact me via pm and I will do my best to help you get your foot in the door. I do know a few things by now.

I don’t need a small fortune a day, as long as I’m getting paid to do what I love the most (and help the co. with bugs, glitches, etc.) I’ll be extremely grateful.
Please, this is my dream and what I was made to do.

Ever since then I was hooked on video games. I have been thinking well maybe i should test games for a while as my job since I really dont want to do any thing else. I see video games as my future. I have a creative mind and a outstanding imagination, or thats what i have herd. I just have one problem I dont know where to start in this kind of carreer. I realy need a job though so I can save up for schooling to make the charecters for games since thats what I realy want to do I want to put my imagination and my art ability togeather and do something that will blow peoples minds away. So can someone help me out and tell me how or where to get started?

April 23rd, 2008 at 7:00 am
Hey guys, probably not a good idea to try and find jobs by leaving comments on a post that’s almost two years old on a website. Take a slightly more proactive approach.
May 25th, 2008 at 8:44 pm

Hi there, my name is Andrew and I am 20 years old. I know I’m older than what your looking for but games are a very passionate hobby of mine and I would love to make something of it. I game on my 360 every chance I get, I have extremely good communication skills and I know what it will take to find glitches in any game I may have to work on, I am also aware that this job could be very monotonousness at times and I know that I will be able to focus on the matter at hand and get the job done. I have no experience in the field but I’m really looking for someone to give me a chance to get some experience. Hope that this little paragraph among many can catch the right eye to read. Thanks again, Andrew

Hello, I’m a 20 year old male, also looking for the chance to become a Game Tester. I’ve been looking for work for the past 2 year, so now I have decided to look online for anything and everything. As far as games go, I’ve had experience in located glitches, and I have played nearly every gaming system, which ranges from the Commador 64 up to the new generation of the PS3, Wii, and Xbox360. I was pretty much born with a controller in my hands. Even at age 3, I was able to finish the game, Final Fantasy II for the SNES in America in under 9 hours. I feel as though I would be worth being a true tester, and I won’t let you down. I’ll be looking for any sort of a reply. Until then, Have a good day.

I cant help but be skeptical on these “looking for game tester” advertisements. How ever my old manager was one, though he said it kind of sucks, I would still like to do it, if anything for a couple years, get my foot in the door. I am 22 years of age, I have alot of exp. in the gaming. I have worked with various modding communities. I know testers dont get payed the greatest but they do get enough to get by. I can relocate and have alot of skill, give me a try as a game tester and hopefully someday more, contact me!
December 11th, 2008 at 7:56 am
Hi I’m Scott I have also been playing games since day one. I figure i would be a great choice for testing do to the fact I do nothing but play video games and constantly see glitches and or problems with games I play. Also hey if I had the chance to help improve some of the greatest games of all time pretty sure that would be the greatest dream of any gamer seeing as we always look for the missing parts of a game that would make it better.
December 17th, 2008 at 5:22 pm
WTF….not to sound mean or too angry but really, WTF! I have tried over 10 times to sign up for a job in game testing here and it will not let me. Owner of this website, “UPDATE YOUR DAMN WEBSITE”. I’ve been dreaming for the day to test games and get paid and I can’t because of an error on your website. I sent a E-Mail to the admin, even though I used my mothers E-mail to send it, and i don’t see anyone fixing this damn problem….I have never been more pissed at the great Microsoft ever, please fix the problem and E-mail me so I can sign up. My E-mail is MeanGreenKaos@aol.com and I used NanaEspo40’s E-mail to send the complaint, or plea, for some help. Send me a E-amil when your problem is fixed please.

I’m 18 years old male and playing fighting games is my most favorite thing to do. I love Japanese Anime Manga and any type of fighting (SNK, Capcom, etc.) game. I would love to game test the fighting genres of video gaming. My mom says that I love the fighting games too much, but I can’t help it. I know all about the moves and techniques to win a fight on mostly any game series. I have so many Street Fighter versions. My mom says it’s crazy to have so many of the same game, but I tell her that they are not all the same. I would really love to know more about how I can become a Game Tester, so that I can make some cash doing what I was born to do. I want to prove to myself that I’m that good by making a paycheck doing what I love and showing my mom that all that video games playing was worth it. Thanks. Please contact me.

Greetings.
My name is Benjamin, i am 17 years old from winnipeg manitoba (Canada)
I have played videogames since i was 6 years old. Biggest inspirations were Duke Nukem and Age of Empires.
I play almost any game that comes out in the modern world.
I have played World of Warcraft for 3 years. And i own a large series of pc games including Bioshock, Age of Empires series, Wolfenstien, and pretty much every other game that has come out that is in english, other than You Are Empty. haha.
I am looking to become a tester, im not really in it for the money. It’s more of a make enough to live. I am passionate about videogames, and i can spot glitches like no tommorow, i am good at explaining them.
I am very flexible with my hours and i will reply within 24 hours by email.

Hello, i am a 16year old. I currently spend a large majority of my time on consoles, I always thought about being a Game tester or really anything involving the video game industry as long as it doesn’t make me code. I am quite adept at finding glitches and i can usually pin point and repeat them, if not i know what generally has happened. Also just the fact of it being hard times and i’m at this age having a job would be nice, and with schooling i am pounded with homework so i don’t have time to go about job hunting, especially if i can get a job in the Video Game Industry doing something i already love. Please contact me with anything you might have to help me out, i’d love to be apart of this.
