The record

Purpose: Lysto is a Player Experience Platform that turns real player feedback into player-experience insights for game studios.
Research scope: The platform supports concept validation, FTUE, retention, gameplay experience, go-to-market, monetization, usability, publisher-readiness, archetype, competitive, funding and investment studies.
Gameplay evaluation: Gameplay Experience Evaluation identifies enjoyment and frustration moments, challenge balance, and features that drive replayability and long-term engagement.
Study formats: Lysto offers concept tests, single-session playtests, multi-session playtests and longitudinal studies.
AI analysis: Lysto AI summarizes comprehension, friction, flow and challenge, and auto-tags confusion, hesitation, frustration and delight with timestamps.
Player panel: Lysto says its global panel has over 1 million verified gamers filtered by demographics, genre and experience.
Security: The security page states that builds are protected in transit with TLS 1.2+ and remain access-restricted and encrypted throughout their lifecycle.
NDA and identity controls: Participants must sign legally binding NDAs, pass screening and have sessions linked to device IDs and session metadata.
Build protection: PC playtests use cloud streaming in the Lysto PC App so players do not download game builds or local executables.
Mobile requirements: Android builds can be uploaded as-is without SDK or code changes, while iOS testing uses live App Store builds.
Desktop limitation: The Player Experience Platform is available only on laptop or desktop devices and must remain full-screen.
Google integration: With explicit authorization, Lysto can access Google Workspace data including Calendar events, Drive files and Gmail messages to provide requested functionality.
Support: Lysto directs playtesting-platform questions to [email protected].
Headquarters: Singapore
