Beta Test Center

Have you ever wanted to have a direct impact on game development? Now you can through GameSpot's Beta Test Center. Beta testers provide a valuable service - they report bugs and playability issues in the crucial last stages of a game's production.

In our Beta Test Center, we'll tell you about games that are currently accepting testing applicants, provide links directly to the sign-up forms, and feature many exclusives available only to registered GameSpot users. We'll keep you posted as new beta test opportunities arise, so check back often for the latest information.

* Titles in italics represent newly added beta tests.
