Powering Studios Across The Globe

"One of our biggest challenges was determining whether low retention stemmed from onboarding issues or from the core gameplay experience itself. Lysto’s structured playtesting solution helped us quickly uncover and eliminate key FTUE and comprehension barriers through multiple rounds of testing. This allowed us to isolate gameplay fun as the primary driver of retention and focus our product efforts accordingly. "

BEST FOR

Onboarding & tutorial refinement

Even great games lose players before they truly begin. The FTUE Study helps you uncover where new players struggle, hesitate, or disengage, and how to make their first session smooth, intuitive, and rewarding.

HOW IT WORKS

We observe real players as they go through your onboarding, identifying key friction points and comprehension gaps to ensure your tutorial teaches without overwhelming.

YOU'LL LEARN

Where players lose clarity or motivation during onboarding.

How well your tutorial communicates the game's goals and controls.

Whether your early pacing and feedback feel rewarding and motivating.

PERFECT FOR

Studios refining their tutorial flow or preparing for Alpha, Beta, or Soft Launch builds where first impressions define retention.

OPTIONAL ADD-ONS

Usability Evaluation

Evaluate UI, feedback, and controls for a frictionless early play experience.

PX Audit

Review of your game by our expert player researcher panel to flag hidden blockers before player testing begins.

Store Evaluation

Evaluate how players perceive your game's store presence, including first impressions, clarity of messaging, and visual appeal to ensure it attracts interest and encourages downloads.
