Not sure what a matrix question is? [Joe's got you covered. ](https://start.playtestcloud.com/blog/enhancing-your-research-with-matrix-questions) A matrix question lets players rate multiple items on the same scale in one go: for example, rating clarity, fun and difficulty each from 1 to 5, all in a single table. It's one of the most efficient ways to collect structured feedback across several dimensions at once. ## A redesigned player experience The player-facing UI has been redesigned from the ground up. Sticky column headers and alternating row highlights make it easier for players to track which row they're rating as they scroll. ## Full column labeling All five columns can now be labeled individually. So instead of players seeing just 1: Strongly disagree and 5: Strongly agree (and guessing what 2, 3 and 4 mean), you can label every step: "Strongly disagree / Disagree / Neutral / Agree / Strongly agree." Players now know exactly where they stand at every point on the scale. ## Clarification follow-ups on matrix questions Matrix questions also support a clarification follow-up text field. After a player submits their ratings, you can automatically prompt them to explain a specific answer in their own words. ![Purple background with lines and dot pattern, on top the screenshot of how the matrix questions look on the Player Insights Platform.](https://start.playtestcloud.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog%20-%20New%20product%20update.png?width=1584&height=892&name=Blog%20-%20New%20product%20update.png)   Tags: [Product Update](https://start.playtestcloud.com/product-updates/tag/product-update) ![PlaytestCloud Team](https://start.playtestcloud.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Favicon-1.png?width=120&height=120&name=Favicon-1.png) **[PlaytestCloud Team](https://start.playtestcloud.com/product-updates/author/playtestcloud-team)** June 2, 2026 at 11:30 AM We're PlaytestCloud and we help game studios gather feedback from their target players and make more successful games.
