Xsolla Adds 15+ New Local Payment Methods, Letting Game Developers Reach Players Across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Americas

Xsolla, a leading global video game commerce company, has expanded its Xsolla Payments platform with over 15 new local payment methods. This enhancement, announced ahead of Gamescom 2026, now caters to players in Asia, Oceania, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas. Notably, developers can accept these local payment methods without needing any additional integration work, as the methods are readily available through the existing Xsolla Payments integration.

The shift towards local payment methods is a global trend, driven by banks and regulators in Europe who are developing account-to-account and instant-payment alternatives to international cards. Players in fast-growing gaming markets predominantly use regional wallets, bank transfers, installment plans, and cash-based methods rather than international cards.

The addition of these new payment methods presents an opportunity for developers to capture previously unreachable revenue and reduce checkout abandonment by up to 35%, according to Xsolla data.

Chris Hewish, President of Xsolla, emphasized that every new method added is an additional market where developers can capture sales they would have otherwise lost. The new payment methods are seamlessly integrated into the existing Xsolla Payments platform, enabling developers to expand their global reach without the need for additional payment code development.

Developers can activate these local payment options via the Xsolla Payments dashboard in their Publisher Account. Xsolla, headquartered in Los Angeles, supports game studios of all sizes, from indie to AAA, with solutions for game launch, growth, and monetization. Trusted by over 70% of the top 100 highest-grossing games, Xsolla operates as the Merchant of Record across 200+ geographies and offers access to 1,000+ local payment methods worldwide.
