New Updates Are Now Available as Xsolla Partners with Various Vendors on Three Additional Solutions, and NFT Checkout Adds New Features to Its Solution Offering

New Delhi, October 28, 2022: Just months after joining forces with leading payment solutions provider Paytm to expand into India, leading global video game commerce company Xsolla has now announced a partnership with multinational mobile payments and marketing solutions provider Alipay to further strengthen its outreach across Asia while bringing in new games to the huge market. During its quarterly release week, Xsolla also introduced new solutions and features for Xsolla Web Shop, such as enabling developers manage player promotions while customizing their marketing efforts through an updated Web Shop launching this week.

Xsolla is partnering with multiple vendors on three additional solutions to offer developers every opportunity to expand across various countries. The global video game commerce company has further created new features and updates to its NFT solution offering, removing the barriers to Web 3.0 for users, allowing them to sell, store, mint, and deliver NFTs to users’ wallets within one interface integrated with other Xsolla solutions.

“Xsolla is committed to providing best-in-class services and support for mobile game developers worldwide to help them reach more players in more geographies,” said Chris Hewish, President of Xsolla. “As the mobile gaming industry evolves, we are staying ahead of the curve by offering unique features to our mobile solution to help our partners connect directly with their players.”

Xsolla Alipay+

Xsolla will integrate Alipay+, a suite of global cross-border mobile payments and marketing solutions from Ant Group that enables merchants to serve consumers better worldwide. With Alipay+ solutions, Xsolla can provide coverage of digital wallets and other payment methods through direct integration in the Southeast Asia market. Moreover, the partnership will allow Xsolla to provide Enterprise, Mid-Tier, and Indie gaming partners with customer-targeted marketing promotions and reach new players by allowing them to pay for their games and in-game items with their preferred local payment methods.

Xsolla Game Investment Platform + Trailer Program

Game trailers have become a key component of video game marketing, and a strong trailer can generate hype, boost preorders, elevate game sales, and even market a game after release. In this new program, developers can apply to have their trailers funded for up to $250,000 in exchange for future revenue share from their game. If the trailer costs more than the base fund, it would be raised through the Game Investment Platform. Xsolla Game Investment Platform is a portfolio of investment-ready games. Accredited investors, including high-net-worth individuals and family offices, can browse the portfolio or search directly for games matching their criteria. Once they have found the desired game, investors commit to co-invest in the project with terms predetermined by the developer in consultation with Xsolla. Developers and publishers will have access to funding to create and market game trailers through Xsolla’s collaboration with Trailer Farm, VIVIX, and Liquid+Arcade.

Xsolla Web Shop Update

Developers can now save resources and time without manually setting up personalized offers and promotions for in-game items for each offer on their own web shops. Now, game developers can personalize the offers and payment experience down to the unique user ID level to help further enhance each player’s experience. As promotions and offers are created, the developer can control the number of redemptions and purchases made using discounts for bundles and offers using promotional codes. These features are requested additions to the complete solution allowing mobile game developers to generate more sales directly from their own branded Web Shop for players to use in-game on their favorite mobile device.

Additionally, the solution connects partners to major blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon, and more than 100 + supported e-wallets.
