A Reward System Built for Playtesting

Credits are Playtest Hub's internal reward currency.

  • Testers earn Credits through eligible playtest rewards.
  • Credits are spent on cosmetic items in the Playtest Hub Store.
  • Studios receive a monthly reward allowance that can be allocated to playtests.

Credits have no cash value and cannot be withdrawn, transferred or redeemed for money.

Everyone Stays In The Loop

Playtest Hub notifies studios and testers when something relevant happens.
