New offerings include a Mobile Web Shop Ecosystem for direct-to-consumer commerce, a Community Hub and publishing-suite features for PC engagement, more than 15 local payment methods added to Xsolla Payments, an AI Toolkit with CLI for fast publisher setup, an expanded creator/partner network for creator marketing, and a backend integration partnership with AccelByte. A closed testing program is opening for partner studios ahead of the broader launch, and Xsolla plans to debut three new player experiences and a rewards engine at Gamescom.
Xsolla on D2C and pre-Gamescom product reveals
Xsolla president Chris Hewish appears on the PocketGamer.biz podcast, hosted by Peggy Anne Salz, to discuss the growing direct-to-consumer (D2C) trend and a major product wave launched ahead of Gamescom. Xsolla is rolling out six new solutions — led by a Web Shop Ecosystem for mobile games — plus 15 local payment methods, an Xsolla AI Toolkit with a new CLI to accelerate storefront/web shop creation, an expanded creator platform, and a backend partnership with AccelByte. Hewish says regulatory and market shifts are enabling studios to build direct relationships with players; Xsolla now powers more than 800 mobile web shops and bundles acquisition, engagement, live-ops and analytics into a single integration. The episode explores D2C strategy, AI-enabled storefronts, and creator campaigns. It is distributed across channels including YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
