“Six Peaks Games provided exceptional QA support across multiple titles during my time as a Publishing Producer at The Powell Group. They consistently impressed with their professionalism and work ethic. What set them apart was their ability to truly integrate with our development teams – they never felt like an external vendor, but rather like an extension of our own staff. They’re excellent at matching the right people to each project, which made all the difference in quality and efficiency. I’d highly recommend them to any studio looking for a reliable, high-quality QA partnership.”

“The entire QA team at Six Peaks quickly became an invaluable extension of the Wild Blue Skies development team, and it’s hard to imagine the project’s success without their involvement. From thorough bug reporting and reliable regression testing to thoughtful, player-focused gameplay feedback, their contributions consistently exceeded expectations. Six Peaks set a new benchmark for what we look for in a quality assurance partner, and we would gladly work with them again. ”
