• Seamless Compatibility Across Platforms: Dedicated compatibility with mobile browsers, including a virtual gamepad overlay, quickly bringing the PC gaming experience to mobile devices.
• Streamlined Global Launch Processes: Developers can launch games across all territories in just a few hours by selecting the desired region and machine type. The platform handles the rest with optimized architecture and advanced vendor routing to connect players to the most suitable cloud vendors for their needs.
• Global Partnerships: Xsolla Cloud Gaming is now supported by industry leaders, including AWS and Tencent Cloud. With their close partnership and deep integration, we can rapidly troubleshoot and implement new features to enhance the player experience. In addition, we have partnered with Aethir to offer up to $1 million in cloud credits to qualified partners.

Through Xsolla’s cloud gaming developer interface, Publisher Account, developers can further promote their games with rewards such as welcome bonuses for new registrations, free trial play for guest users, 15-minute “Play Before You Buy” trials, and referral bonuses for players. These engagement options create a rewarding and accessible experience for players worldwide.
