Become A Playtester

How do I sign up for this program?

Click Become a Playtester. After you create your profile, you can sign-up for available Playtests in your area.

I can't find my country on the Playtesting locations list or Playtester profile, can I still participate?

Currently, we are unable to offer any form of Playtest to locations outside of those listed on: https://na.playtesting.ea.com/ARCSPortal/EA/locations

We are always reviewing our locations, and hopefully in the future we can extend our list of available countries.
