Digital Hearts, a company based in Shinjuku, Tokyo, is taking a significant step in enhancing its debugging service capacity by launching the Minatomirai Lab in Yokohama. This strategic initiative aims to address the increasing demand for debugging services as the game industry expands across various platforms.
The company boasts an impressive infrastructure, featuring around 8,000 registered testers and more than 10,000 different testing devices. Since its inception, Digital Hearts has committed to improving quality within the entertainment sector through a meticulous debugging process. Their services go beyond mere functionality checks; they excel at identifying slight discrepancies during gameplay and predicting unexpected user behaviors. This in-depth approach, rooted in the creativity and insight of gaming experts, ensures comprehensive detection of bugs. As a result, Digital Hearts has garnered substantial recognition and established a leading position in the domestic game debugging market, partnering with both local and international game manufacturers as a global quality partner.
The rise of multi-platform game releases has surged the need and volume of debugging services.

It will feature a robust training program designed for inexperienced individuals, equipping them with essential IT and professional skills, led by experienced managers. This initiative aims to attract a new pool of testing talent and further strengthen the recruitment base in the area.
