SUBMISSION SUCCESS STARTS WITH QA
Console Certification & Submission Testing (TRC, TCR, Lotcheck)
Prepare your game for smooth console submission with expert compliance testing across PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo platforms.
Certification is often the final barrier between a finished build and release. Kudos QA helps studios pass first time by verifying compliance against platform-specific requirements, preventing costly delays and resubmissions.
What Is Certification Testing?
Certification testing confirms that your game meets the strict technical and functional standards required by console platform holders.
Our QA teams review every aspect of the build to ensure it complies with the latest TRC, TCR, and Lotcheck guidelines before submission.
We check for:
​
-
Platform-specific functionality and UI behaviour
-
Save/load integrity and error message handling
-
Network, profile, and achievements compliance
-
Controller disconnect and reconnection scenarios
-
Age rating, legal, and content policy alignment
-
Submission packaging and documentation readiness
