Paid Video Game Testing - Average Earnings and Typical Work
Professional beta game testing is without a doubt a lot better than most other jobs out there. However, being a paid video game tester, like any other type of employment, does have a few drawbacks. In all honesty though, the drawbacks of game testing are few and far between, but they do in fact exist and each game tester has to accept & deal with them.
How Much You'll Be Paid To Test Video Games
There is no set amount that you'll begin making when you begin professionally testing video games. Wages vary from company to company, so it's hard to give a precise figure on how much a game tester can or will be paid. Having said that, don't wholeheartedly trust advertisements that state video game testers are paid more than $120 per hour. Even though it's not technically a lie, it's not really the truth either -- Beta game testers can earn a very good living, just not THAT good of a living.
At a mind blowing rate of $120 an hour, a tester would make $600 per day just working a minuscule 5 hours. Honestly, you'd have a really tough time locating a professional video game tester that gets paid even half that sum for an entire days work.
Ball-Park Figures: Weekly earnings of a beta tester can range between a relatively low $300 to a remarkable $2, 500 or more. Monthly wages of a tester can be anywhere from $1500 to an amazing $10, 000. Annual salary can be between a basic $24, 000 and a whopping $100, 000+,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]!
The wages you will earn as a beta game tester is directly associated with the video game developer you're working for, not to mention the amount of work you can manage.
What You Are Paid To Do as a Professional Tester
Contrary to what you may think, you won't merely be playing video games all day long. In truth,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], being paid to test a video game is WAY different than simply playing a game for fun. Although many professional testers do have fun testing video games, the fun isn't quite as great as they originally thought it would be. Why? Well,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], because there is actual worked involved with the testing process.
Rather than just being paid to gauge the "fun factor" of a video game, testers are paid to locate what most programmers can't; hard-to-find bugs and barely visible glitches. Video game programmers will easily find & identify the larger bugs & glitches; but when it's time to find and fix ALL of them,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which includes the dramatically tiny and far less obvious ones, gaming developers place their trust in professional game testers to do the job quickly and effectively. That being said, as a video game tester it's YOUR JOB to test the game as long as it takes so that you can locate and document each & every single game bug & glitch!
