What qualities/requirements are video game testing companies looking for in a a rookie testing candidate?

Some of the traits that game studios and testing companies look for in a good tester include:

Focus: You need to have a good attention span, and not get bored of a game even after you’ve been testing it for a loooooong time.

Detail oriented: You need to be able to spot bugs, figure out how to make them happen predictably, and describe the precise steps to the development team to help them find and fix the bugs.

Writing: You’ll be communicating with the dev team and other testers by email and through notes in the bug-tracking software, so you’ll want to be able to clearly communicate your thoughts in written form.

Attitude: Companies look for testers who have a good attitude, are hard workers, and can be fun teammates – and avoid being overly negative/sarcastic/angry.

Do the companies give you the game systems that you need to work with or do you need to buy them yourself?

The game companies will provide the game systems. Often, you’ll be using a “dev kit” version of the game system, which is a specially-modded version that allows developers to debug their games as they create them. Only official game studios have access to dev kit hardware, so they will provide the kits to their employees.
