Play Exclusive Games From Home and Earn Rewards​

Antidote is a User Experience (UX) and Analytics platform that aims to help game studios implement game testing in their development processes. We accompany developers from the very first prototype until the game is published and beyond. We work together to create great player experiences and help you reach new heights of success.

You can participate in the development of games by joining Antidote here. You will periodically receive invitations to playtest games of different types and genres that match your interests and get rewards for completing them.

The games you playtest on Antidote are matched to you based on your player profile preferences, or your existing game library if you link platforms like Steam.

Antidote playtests games across many genres, including action, adventure, casual, puzzle, and FPS, and on various platforms such as Windows, Android, browser, iOS, and Mac, with others potentially being added.

Past titles playtested through Antidote include: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Alan Wake 2, Rematch, Amon US VR, Sorry World!, and Destroy All Humans. You can find more examples of playtested games on the Antidote website.

When developers launch their playtest, they specify the characteristics of the players they would like to playtest their game. For example:

• Hardcore gamers who enjoy RPGs and have experience with games like Baldur's Gate 3.
• Players aged 30 to 60 who play puzzle games occasionally.
• English-speaking players between 18 and 30 years old who are fans of Sim games.

If your profile matches the developers’ requirements, Antidote will invite you to participate in the playtest. Make sure you keep your profile accurate and up to date!

Once you are invited to a playtest, you will find information about the compensation in the project’s description. Each playtest compensation varies based on developer preferences. Generally, rewards include Experience Points (XP) and Antidote Coins, though sometimes the full playtested game or entry into a giveaway is offered.

Antidote Coins can be traded for various game-related rewards, such as games, gift cards (e.g., for Steam, Amazon), game event tickets, consoles and much more. More details about the Antidote Reward system are available here.

If the full game is the reward, you will either retain ownership of the game you tested or receive it upon its release. Notification will be provided when the released game becomes available.

Occasionally, playtests feature a lucky draw for high-value prizes, including high-end PCs, consoles like Steamdecks, or Steam gift cards.

To increase your chances of being invited to a project, please ensure your profile is accurately completed and that you have finished the tutorials for your preferred platforms. 

Once these steps are complete, and your account is verified, you may be invited to participate in projects that match your profile. Keep in mind that many factors influence invitations, such as timezone, location, and past participation. Please be patient, rest assured your opportunities will come.

Antidote Coins and XP are awarded to all participants once the playtest has fully concluded and all individual participant sessions have been verified. The time this takes can vary, from a few hours to a few weeks, depending on the specific playtest and the developer's requirements.

The redeemable rewards from the Antidote Store are usually sent every few weeks. If it has been more than a month since you redeemed your reward, feel free to contact us and provide your Antidote username, so we can check your redeem status.
