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.
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
A failed submission can delay release by weeks and damage launch momentum.
Our certification QA identifies issues before submission, saving time, cost, and reputation.
Identify compliance issues early to maximise your chances of passing certification on the first attempt.
Avoid release delays and extra fees by resolving potential failures before official submission.
Our testers track the latest TRC, TCR, and Lotcheck updates to keep your builds fully console compliant.
Consistent, compliant submissions build trust and credibility with Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo reviewers.
Our process is structured around platform requirements to ensure full compliance and efficient turnaround.
We review the latest TRC, TCR, and Lotcheck documentation to align testing with current platform standards.
Kudos QA builds a tailored certification checklist covering functional, compliance, and documentation for your specific console targets.
Our testers run through all certification test cases, logging deviations with clear reproduction steps, screenshots, and requirement references.
After fixes are implemented, we verify compliance again across all affected areas to confirm readiness for submission.
We provide a summary report and validation checklist confirming all key criteria are met, giving you confidence before official submission.
Extensive experience across PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo submission processes ensures up-to-date compliance coverage.
Our team operates within tight certification schedules, supporting late-stage builds and final release deadlines.
All testing is conducted under strict NDA, with secure build handling and platform-compliant data policies.
Regular updates and actionable reports keep your developers fully informed at every stage of the process.
