Outsourcing gaming support is not just about offloading customer service; it encompasses a wide range of services:
Entering new markets? Outsourcing localization services can translate your game into over 50 language pairs, expanding your global footprint. This service goes beyond just text translation, including nuances such as context, idioms, and cultural references.
An outsourced contact center can provide robust support to address any player issues, from game activation to gameplay problems. These services often cover all channels like email, chat, social, and voice support. So you keep the players engaged while your team focuses on new content or crafting the next big game.
Online gaming communities are vibrant but can quickly turn toxic. Content moderation keeps the player environment healthy and safe by proactively managing risks, fraud prevention, and addressing player wellness. It also aims to reduce churn by engaging players even more and making them hyped about new content, events and updates.
For those high-value players and top-spenders, VIP services can go the extra mile. Think of it as a concierge service for your top-tier players, covering specialized support services and even exclusive in-game offerings, to make them even happier about playing and making purchases.
While your team is building those jaw-dropping graphics, addictive mechanics, and breathtaking storylines, an outsourcing partner can ensure there are no bugs or performance issues, conducting rigorous game testing and quality checks. Outsourcing it gives you flexibility and cost-efficiency that couldn’t be achieved in-house.
If you’re not sure where to start or looking to scale, consulting services can provide tailored solutions, from traditional player support to advanced anticipatory customer experience (CX).
Applying the power of AI to your Quality Assurance and Player Support workflows is the next big thing. Forget about chat-bots, re-emerging bugs and frustrated players – proper AI back-end integration will help your QA and Support agents to be more organized, efficient and helpful than ever.
