Xsolla has announced a partnership with the Scaffold Institute to launch the Xsolla x Scaffold Game Accelerator Program. This 12-week program is designed to guide early-stage game studios through the process of creating a playable demo and a pitch deck ready for publishers, providing them with the necessary tools and resources.

Justin Berenbaum, SVP, Global Industry Relations & Funding, Xsolla: "Independent creators are the lifeblood of our industry, and this collaboration provides them with clear pathways to refine, showcase, and secure opportunities for their games. Working with Scaffold allows us to deliver practical tools and connections that help turn creative visions into commercial success."

Matt Toner, Executive Director at the Scaffold Institute: "Our venture studio program was designed to help developers take the most important step in their journey: raising capital. By joining forces with Xsolla, we're giving Canadian studios an almost unfair advantage: both the market perspective and the industry access they need to move from idea to impact."

The Xsolla x Scaffold Game Accelerator Program launched its first cohort in September 2025, with further cohorts planned for early and mid-2026.
