Planet Zoo: beta testers influenced final development

It's not just kids who like visiting zoos, as animal theme parks are also highly popular among PC gamers. The game Planet Zoo, which was released in November 2019, is one of them. Here you can build your own wild animal park and thus offer your virtual animals the perfect home. Before the game was released, however, there was a beta phase in which the game could be extensively tested by selected players.

• The period of the beta was set from September 24 to October 8, 2019.
• All pre-orderers of the game were able to participate.
• The player feedback during the test phase is taken very seriously by the developers to advance the fine tuning. Thus, there are already during the beta extensive patches that change the game, such as the addition of an offline mode.
• Also part of the beta scope is the marketplace: There players can trade among themselves with animals.
• In addition, also on Twitch up to 50,000 people already followed the beta phase of the game on the first day.
• During the phase, there were also various beta community challenges, such as the release of West African lions. These challenges were also later carried over into the game.
