Xsolla has announced an expansion of its platform support capabilities. Thanks to the latest SDKs for the Windows Store and the Epic Games Store, a new strategic partnership with Pley, and the launch of the Xsolla Discord Bot, developers can now implement secure, streamlined commerce across PC, mobile, web, and community platforms.
"The future of game commerce is direct, cross-platform, and player-centric. Our goal is to give developers the freedom to monetize on their terms across any platform, any channel, anywhere in the world. This platform expansion delivers on that promise with streamlined commerce tools that eliminate complexity and unlock scalable growth," Chris Hewish, President at Xsolla.
"PC developers can access flexible monetization tools via Xsolla SDK for Windows Stores, offering seamless checkout flows and cross-platform SKU synchronization for multiplatform titles available on Windows across a variety of game stores. Setup is streamlined and includes built-in access to Pay Station and Login, with optional integration into Web Shop and Buy Button," states the company in its description of the new features of the SDK for Windows Stores. Regarding the SDK for the Epic Games Store, Xsolla writes: "PC and mobile developers can seamlessly scale by going direct-to-consumer with Xsolla’s SDK for the Epic Games Store, which enables smooth integration, dual billing options for mobile, synchronized inventory, localized native checkout experiences, and built-in support for subscriptions, recurring billing, Buy Button, and Web Shop." In addition, there is now also a Xsolla Discord Bot. This bot allows studios to showcase their products, offer promotions and goal-based incentives, and sell digital goods via real-time messages and server channels.
Last but not least, a partnership with Pley has been announced. Xsolla: "Mobile developers can now launch web-based versions of their games with minimal effort through Xsolla’s partnership with Pley, which combines Pley's cloud-based toolchain for Unity games with Xsolla's global payment infrastructure to unlock new revenue streams, diversify their strategies, and connect more directly with players."
