I always wanted to work in games user research, but was worried I didn’t have the relevant industry experience.
I spent over two years working in user research in mainly the public and third sector and knew that in order to get up to speed with how things work in the video game industry, I had to work incredibly hard.
When it came to dedicating my time outside of work to learning more about games user research, Steve Bromley’s resources were absolutely instrumental.
I used his book ‘How to Be a Games User Researcher’ to learn about how to run studies in the games industry; his newsletters gave me free career advice to help prepare for potential interviews; and his website offers courses on important skills like running playtests and survey design.
Steve is also super approachable, and is always happy to answer questions on Discord during your time on his courses, offering a few 1:1 slots to talk through things online if you need more advice.
His work and advice helped me prepare for everything I needed to secure my dream games user research job at PlayStation. I highly recommend his work!
