Unity Game Simulation Lets Studios Use AI Bots To Playtest Games In Google Cloud

Furyion Games used Unity Game Simulation to playtest its forthcoming shooter, 'Death Carnival' Unity's newest tool allows game developers to run cloud-based playtests at unprecedented speed and scale with machine learning. T0day, as part of the Google for Games Developer Summit, Unity Technologies announced Unity Game Simulation. It's a tool that stands to revolutionize playtesting--the process of playing a game to test it for bugs and flaws before it launches--for studios, with implications that extend far beyond the world of entertainment. In essence, Game Simulation equips game developers with the ability to create simulations with bots that playtest games on their behalf. Bots have been playing games effectively for decades, but Game Simulation harnesses them at a scale that is many orders of magnitude beyond what has been possible before.
