CB and OB are abbreviations used in the video game industry to denote two stages of game testing before the official release:
CB - Closed Beta
CB (Closed Beta) is the stage of game testing when access to the game is restricted and available only to selected testers invited by the game developer or a limited group of players who registered to participate in this stage. This allows developers to check the state of the game, identify bugs, receive feedback from testers, and improve the game before the public release.
OB - Open Beta
OB (Open Beta) is the stage of testing when the game becomes available to the general public. During this stage, players can try the game for free and without restrictions (there are sometimes cases of paid beta, but very cheap. It all depends on the game publisher), but the game may still be in development, and some details may be improved or changed based on feedback from players.
After the beta testing is completed, when the game is considered stable enough and ready for public release, it moves to the official release or "launch".
Beta testing is an important part of video game development as it allows developers to identify and fix bugs, optimize the game for different hardware configurations, and receive feedback from players to improve gameplay and the gaming experience.
