Console Certification

Purpose

Prepare the project for console platform requirements, TRCs/TCRs/XRs, and first-party submission expectations.

Use When

• shipping to consoles
• platform-specific UX and entitlement flows are being added
• submission planning is underway

Inputs

• platform requirements
• current build behavior
• entitlement flow
• save and online behavior

Process

1. map product behavior to platform requirement categories
2. identify compliance-sensitive areas such as suspend/resume, user accounts, storage, network, and commerce
3. plan targeted compliance testing
4. document known waivers or uncertainty
5. coordinate fixes with release planning

Outputs

• certification checklist
• platform risk list
• compliance test plan
• submission blockers

Quality Bar

• turns risk into explicit evidence and ownership
• keeps release blockers visible instead of implicit
• connects quality decisions to milestone and platform impact

Common Failure Modes

• severity inflation or minimization without player-impact context
• treating waived risks as invisible
• submission checklists that are incomplete or stale
