How to Become a Beta Tester for Sony

Sony PlayStation beta testers are hired to test unreleased games, software and hardware for glitches, as well as for the user experience. Hiring can happen in rounds when Sony is getting ready to add a new game or console to its line. The pay scale for a beta tester can depend on the project or the person's experience. Some people will do it for free. There are no benefits and work is not always guaranteed. However, if you have time and enjoy video games, this could be a good project for you.
