Project Scope
It’s Only Money is a chaotic open-world co-op sandbox where players fight, steal and scheme their way through Rockhaven in a bid to take back the city.
Six Peaks Games worked closely with Firestoke and Usual Suspects Studios to provide dedicated QA support across the project, helping test and refine gameplay systems, troubleshoot issues and support overall polish ahead of launch. Our focus was on helping ensure the experience felt stable, engaging and consistent across the game’s open-world sandbox.
