Overview

Playtesting has finally become personal. Solsten and AccelByte have teamed up to enhance playtesting accuracy by matching play testers and their feedback to the portions of your audience that they represent. This targeted approach boosts playtest results, enabling game studios to craft more engaging games that are likely to succeed.

Free preview account integration

You can use Solsten for free and discover how deeper insights into your target audience can benefit your game's development. Set up an account to get your preview with these simple steps:

1. Navigate to your namespace settings and select Integrations from the sidebar.
2. Choose Solsten Integration.
3. Access and read Solsten's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
4. Check the box to confirm your agreement with Solsten's terms.
5. Hit Try Now to complete the process. Your external company ID will then be generated and linked.

Existing Solsten account integration

If you already have an account, you can easily connect it by:

1. Navigate to your namespace settings and select Integrations from the sidebar.
2. Choose Solsten Integration.
3. Access and read Solsten's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
4. Check the box to confirm your agreement with Solsten's terms.
5. Click Sign In, and you'll be directed to the Solsten login page.
6. You will be redirected to ADT where your company ID and integration status will be displayed as connected.

Selecting your game's audience

To get your audience insights with Solsten, indicate which audience best represents who will play your game. If you're using the free version, this means selecting a genre for your game. You can change this later, but any questionnaires taken by the playtesters must be re-taken. Here's how to select your audience:

1. Go to ADT Web and log in to your namespace.
2. Select your game from the Select the Game page.
3. Click on the Game Settings menu on the sidebar to be directed to the Game Integration page.
4. Make sure you have integrated your namespace with Solsten.
5. Choose your game's genre from the dropdown list and click Save.

INFO

For those with an active Solsten subscription, you can select from the audience dashboards already owned on the Solsten platform.
