- Assist with testing against platform requirements, technical standards, and project quality expectations.
- Regression and Test Coverage:

- Collaboration and Reporting:
- Work closely with QA colleagues, producers, designers, and engineers to communicate testing progress, quality risks, and release readiness.

Essential:
- Experience testing games or software, with a strong understanding of quality-assurance practices.
- Experience testing live-service games, including patches, content updates, events, and post-launch changes.
- Familiarity with PlayStation 5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch testing.
- Good understanding of defect reporting, reproduction steps, test cases, regression testing, and test planning.
