CONSISTENCY ACROSS EVERY SCREEN
Game Compatibility Testing
Ensure your game performs consistently across hardware, operating systems, and devices with expert compatibility QA.
Different hardware, operating systems, and peripherals can cause unexpected issues that players quickly notice. Kudos QA’s compatibility testing identifies and resolves these problems early, helping studios deliver a stable experience across all consoles, handhelds, PCs, and smartphones.
What Is Compatibility Testing?
Compatibility testing verifies how your game performs across varied hardware, operating systems, and configurations.
Our QA teams use structured device and hardware matrices to expose platform-specific issues before launch.
We check for:
-
Visual and audio inconsistencies across resolutions and settings
-
Driver and GPU-related performance issues
-
Save/load behaviour and cross-version compatibility
-
Controller and peripheral support (e.g. gamepads, VR, adaptive devices)
-
Input conflicts and configuration errors
-
Platform update and patch regression stability
Why Compatibility QA Matters
A game that performs perfectly on one setup can fail on another. Compatibility QA prevents these issues from reaching players and reviewers, protecting both user experience and brand reputation.
Validate game stability
Confirm your game performs reliably across all target hardware, OS, and drivers before release.
Reduce platform-specific bugs
Detect and fix technical issues and crashes pre-certification submission to avoid costly delays.
Support smoother update cycles
Ensure compatibility testing keeps pace with new builds, patches, and platform updates.
Build trust with players
Deliver a stable, polished experience that strengthens your studio’s reputation across every platform.
Our Compatibility Testing Process
Our approach combines expert manual testing with proven QA workflows to deliver consistent, repeatable results.
Scope & Matrix Design
We define testing coverage based on target platforms, GPU and CPU tiers, controllers, and network conditions. This ensures all key configurations are represented.
Test Execution
Our testers perform functional and stress passes across configurations, verifying visuals, performance, input, and network connectivity in real gameplay scenarios.
Issue Logging
All compatibility issues are logged with clear environment details, hardware specs, and reproducible steps to support efficient debugging.
Regression Testing
After fixes are applied, we retest the affected areas across the same hardware and software combinations to confirm full resolution.
Final Reporting
We provide concise compatibility summaries, along with actionable recommendations to support optimisation and release decisions.
