Over the years, we’ve gained valuable experience from player feedback, and now we’re ready to take it to the next level. Beginning this month, we’re opening our Bethesda Play Test Lab in Dallas, TX (stationed at idSoftware’s offices).
In the coming weeks and months, we’ll be kicking off our first play tests with folks that apply from our official website. Folks that apply will be able to play games before they release and even score some cool Bethesda swag.
We are looking for people of all skill levels who enjoy playing games. We’re interested in your feedback, whether you are a person that only plays games once in a while or the hardcore gamer that plays everything. If you’re over 18 and in or around the Dallas area, apply at playtest.bethsoft.com.
Now I wish I lived there, or I had the ability to Fast Travel.
You’re not the only one. I’d already be there if I could have afforded a move to Dallas.
Everyone knows you would be a great tester. At least those of the modding community, such as myself.
Yes but then who woul dmake the Unofficial patches for the Bethesda games?
LOL
Would Beth allow him to release proper working patches ? 🙂 …
Arthmoor should be hired by Bethesda’s QA Department.
Arthmoor should be the lead of Bethesda’s QA Department.
I agree, Arthmoor should work for Bethesda
Verily Arthmoor should be working with Bethesda. No better person more qualified then him when it comes to quality assurance who takes pride in doing it right.
Yes,i’m interested in knowing more about this program, thx.
I would but could I do it at home since cant get to Dallas I love in England
I’m an indie developer myself, but I’d love to see what idSoftware/Bethesada has in store!
I would also be a Great Game Tester, just check out this List for TESVI, wish Bethesda Employees would take this Thread and Sticky Note it

Please Gstaff, we Nexus People arent just Modders, we are a Community with Ideas thats being left in the dark where it seems the Bethesda Forum is the Only Existence.
Note that the Bethsoft forums are the official forums. Nexus is, well, just a fansite in comparison. If you want the best chance to make your opinion heard, why not join the Bethsoft forums?
I was a Member at the Bethesda Forum, but do to misunderstandings, im not their anymore, so wouldent mind that Link be posted into the TES Series for TESVI Thread
I’ll read through it and link it, assuming its not already been done 🙂
Could you also PM some Bethesda Teams and give the Link to them please, im very proud of the Thread and would Hate to see it collect Dust
Thank you 🙂
Elaborate what you dont agree with in my Thread on the Bethesda Forum 🙂
I hope they don’t exclude game developers because I felt like I had to say I was in the industry even though I just work on StarCraft 2 games hardcore.
Why can’t you open one in Kent?! Jealous!
I live in Dallas and would love to test some games. Where do I sign up?
playtest.bethsoft.com
Aw, come on, Bethesda, you’re *named* for Bethesda and you’re based in Rockville, yet your play test site is halfway across the country. *sobs*
Did nobody else notice the word “volunteers” in the big orange graphic?
So not only are they looking for people to do the worst job in the world (and yes, being a games tester is pretty godawful, believe it or not), but they’re also NOT going to be paying you for your trouble.
Pass.
For some of us, the “pay” is the swag as well as the experience itself.
I’d be all over this if it were in Los Angeles or San Diego.
If I lived there, I would sign up but then again Bethesda wouldn’t get a project off the ground. I’d find EVERY PROBLEM, they wouldn’t get away with anything … like I dunno, lip syncing problems caused by a patch update… which I hope to god you people aren’t planning on releasing the legendary edition WITHOUT FIXING IT first.
I dont care for payment, just get me there and i will Play Test your Game for Free, but Only if its TESVI
Note to Bethesda, tax breaks are goOoOOOod for companies… Texas doesn’t cut it. Calgary Alberta does! 😀
There are More stuff in that Thread i posted from the Nexus, so i hope Bethesda takes notice.
Gr,my poor neck
I’m loving the Bauhaus style poster! If I were local I would happily help out.
The good: i live in dallas
the bad: i wont be 18 till october 18th 🙁 ill go cry myself to.sleep now
You are still safe, because 2 Months Later, you will be 18 anyway, so yea, they will let you in, just show them your ID 🙂
I just signed up.
I’m no expert at pointing out game flaws but I’ll do my best for those of you who can’t make it! That is IF I get selected anyway. TES games have a sentimental value to me that most other franchises could never hold or even comprihend. I’ll keep an eye out for TES:IV but I’m sure Beth has other games they would want us to take a gander at. Time will tell.
I think they should allow home testing. I have a very good gaming PC and I don’t have any issues playing games EXCEPT when it comes to Skyrim. And I’m not alone. With my PC, I shouldn’t have trouble, but I get black screens, brown lines and crashing -ONLY- when I play Skyrim. And look how long that game has been out. I’ve been having this issue for over a year. Still no fix.
