How to setup a Multi-Session Playtest?

Understanding Multi-Session Playtesting

Ever noticed how your perception of a game changes the more you play it? While first impressions are valuable, the true test of a game's success often lies in how players engage with it as sessions progress. Multi-session playtesting reveals how well tutorials and core mechanics are retained across sessions, highlighting where players forget, hesitate, or need reinforcement when returning to the game for subsequent sessions.

Why Consider Multi-Session Testing?

• See how players return to your game after breaks

• Understand tutorial recall and how much of core mechanics are retained

• Get insights into player confidence, different moods and gaming times across sessions

• Track how player behavior evolves across sessions
