Take up software testing courses at udemy.com should cost you less than $20. This is just to make you familiar with how any sort of testing works. Understand the requirements of the role of any QA tester. Don't be focused on games. You need to know the basic of QA.

You need to learn to write bug reports.

Apply for game studios and mention those keywords from the Udemy course on your resume. Game projects will have it own sets of training on the job in the 1st week or so to get you up to speed.

But having the basic knowledge of testing softwares, will help you crack the interview. It is not just about playing video games, it's about recreating the bugs and writing reports and helping the development team to fix it.

You will be paid low for the first 2 years or so. But eventually you will reach great heights.

Hope this helps you.
