Functional QA, localization QA, and cultural review for studios bringing their games into Saudi Arabia and the wider MENA region. We test the way Arab players actually play, on the platforms they actually use, in the language they actually read.
Each pass is its own discipline. We can run them stand-alone or as a single sweep before submission.
The classic pass. We hunt bugs, crashes, soft locks, performance regressions, and the things that only break on the build you ship.
The pass most non-Arabic studios get wrong. Arabic breaks layouts in ways English never warned you about. We catch it before your players do.
The pass that keeps your game on store shelves in the Gulf. We flag content that will get refused, restricted, or quietly hurt your reception.
PC and mobile in-house. Console passes (PlayStation, Xbox, Switch) are scoped per project, on request.
From your first build hand-off to a clean re-test, we keep the cycle tight, documented, and easy for your team to action.
You send the build, the scope, and known issues. We agree on coverage, priorities, severity scale, and the bug template you want to receive.
We run the agreed coverage on the agreed platforms. Bugs are logged with reproducible steps, severity, screenshots, and (where relevant) video clips.
You receive a structured report, sorted by severity and area, in the tracker of your choice (Jira, Notion, Trello, plain sheet).
You patch. We verify, close what's fixed, flag what's regressed, and loop the cycle until the build is ready for the market it's going to.
An example of the kind of report you get when your English build meets Arabic players. Every line is reproducible.
Your English build looks perfect. The same UI in Arabic chops a noun in half, flips an arrow the wrong way, and falls back to a system font that doesn't shape the script. The user sees gibberish. You see a five-star review go quiet.
We log the exact frame, the exact string, and the exact device. You patch once, ship once, and never argue with a reviewer about whether it "looks fine in English."

Player sees a chopped word and a font that doesn't match the brand.
We're not renting Arabic testers by the hour. We're a Saudi-born studio shipping our own games into this market.
A Saudi-born studio that shipped Azooma Escape to Steam and is building Nomad next. We know what the storefront, the audience, and the press expect, because we've lived through it ourselves.
Our team plays the genres you're shipping, in the language you're localizing into. Bugs caught in context, not just in spreadsheets, and feedback that reads like a player wrote it.
RTL, bidi text, mixed numerals, fonts that drop ligatures, UIs that flip the wrong way. We've fought every one of these on our own games. We can save you the same week we lost.
We take projects we can do justice to. Small batches, clear scope, honest reports. If your game is shipping into MENA and you want it to land properly, we can help.
For scoping, NDAs, or a sample bug report, email info@ashgamesstudio.com.
Send us your build, your scope, and what you want covered. We'll come back with a plan, a timeline, and a sample bug template within two working days.
