The player experience inventory bench: Providing games user researchers actionable insight into player experiences

Abstract

In this paper, we present PXI Bench, an online tool to provide actionable insight into the player experience, designed by and for games user researchers. Based on the Player Experience Inventory (PXI), it provides detailed information about the baseline theoretical model and supports a layman analysis of PXI questionnaire data. Moreover, it provides an interactive feature to explore benchmark PXI data of existing game evaluations. This helps a GUR expert to explore and compare their own game data to data from a relevant genre or specific game.
