Games User Research is a core part of modern game development to help teams understand their players better and provide players with the best gaming experience possible. The goal of Games User Research is to help game designers and stakeholders make more informed decisions by applying scientific research methods to measure things like usability and player engagement.

This roundtable hosted by Games Research and User Experience (GRUX-SIG) will cover what games user research (GUR) is/isn’t, what it takes to work in GUR, and how it fits into the gamedev cycle. Follow Celestia, Hannah, and Jimmy as we open discussions about our craft, talk insights and personal experiences as game researchers working in the games industry.
