PixelPicked Beta Testing
Ship to real players.
Before you
launch.
Upload build, collect feedback, analyze player behavior, and improve your game with real-world testing before launch.
Beta testing is one of the most important stages of game development, yet most developers still rely on scattered tools to manage it. Build distribution happens in one place. Feedback lives somewhere else. Analytics often do not exist at all. PixelPicked brings the entire workflow together. Upload builds directly to your game page, from your growing community, collect contextual feedback, and automatically understand how players engage with your game. Instead of guessing what needs improvement, you launch with data.

Common questions
Everything you
need to know.
How do I distribute builds to testers on PixelPicked?
Developers upload builds directly through their dashboard. Approved testers can access available builds through the game's testing workflow without relying on external file-sharing tools.
Where do my testers come from?
Players can apply directly through your game page. You review applications and build a tester group that aligns with your goals, target audience, devices, platforms, and testing requirements.
What analytics does PixelPicked collect?
PixelPicked automatically captures session metrics, retention data, engagement trends, performance information, crash reporting, funnel analytics, and other behavioral signals that help developers understand how players interact with their game.
How is this different from TestFlight?
TestFlight focuses on distributing iOS builds. PixelPicked combines build distribution, analytics, feedback collection, and iteration workflows into a single beta testing experience designed for mobile game development.
Can I run multiple beta rounds?
Yes. Developers can upload new build versions throughout development. Each version maintains its own analytics and testing history, making it easy to compare results across releases.
Do testers need to submit feedback manually?
Written feedback is encouraged but optional. PixelPicked automatically captures behavioral analytics regardless of whether players leave written comments, ensuring every testing session produces useful insights.
How does beta testing fit into the broader PixelPicked workflow?
Beta testing is part of PixelPicked's pre-launch ecosystem. Developers can build communities, collect feedback, analyze player behavior, publish updates, and prepare for launch from a single platform.
The best launches are built on feedback, testing, and iteration. Every playtest, session, and piece of feedback helps you launch a stronger game.
Test. Learn. Launch.
