This week on the GoGCast, we dive into the world of playtests with Marie Roy, Coordinator for Ubisoft Montreal’s User Research Lab. Playtests are how studios evaluate how users interact with a game. Marie shares with us the mission of Ubisoft’s User Research Lab, gives us insight into how the studio tests their games, explains the difference between quality assurance and user playtesting, how gamers can get involved and more.

If you would like to participate in Ubisoft’s playtests, you can register at playtest.ubisoft.com. All types of gamers are needed and welcomed!

This week in news: SNES Mini rumored for this Holiday season, Call of Duty WWII confirmed, Games Done Quick relases SGDQ 2017 schedule and a women’s college in the United States launches a varsity esport program.
