BTN News: Xsolla, a top company in video game commerce, has introduced Xsolla Backend. This new tool helps developers of all sizes, including small and medium teams, to manage their games on multiple platforms. Xsolla Backend makes games easier to access by bringing players together on PC, console, mobile, and web platforms. This solves the problem of splitting audiences, helping developers save money while creating better engagement and growing their game businesses.
Xsolla Backend offers developers a solution that is both scalable and affordable to improve game functions and player engagement across different platforms. It includes features like easy account management, efficient matchmaking, dynamic search systems, and strong multiplayer and cross-play functions. These features ensure a connected and immersive gaming experience. Developers can focus on the creative parts of game development while reducing technical challenges. The solution supports cross-play and cross-payment on all platforms and works seamlessly with Xsolla’s game commerce solutions.
Jean-Philippe Steinmetz, the head of Xsolla Backend, said, “With Xsolla Backend, we are making backend technology accessible to all developers, giving them the advanced tools needed to create engaging and immersive games.”
After buying the award-winning AcceleratXR technology in 2023, Xsolla Backend is designed to handle most backend needs from the start, while giving developers the flexibility to customize as needed. The platform uses a pay-as-you-go model, charging only a 5% royalty fee, including backend hosting, making it cost-effective for developers of all sizes.
With over 30 active partners and more than ten projects in development, Xsolla Backend is changing the game industry. Developers interested in trying Xsolla Backend can do so at Gamescom in Cologne this August.
David Stelzer, President of Xsolla, said, “Our business model and strong platform design align our success with that of our partners. Xsolla Backend is not just technology; it’s a partnership that grows with developers, supported by continuous improvements and a roadmap full of powerful updates.”
Later this year, Xsolla Backend will introduce new SDKs for platforms like Microsoft Xbox and Sony PlayStation, improving support for major gaming systems. The expansion will also include a self-service portal, a social launcher, and updates to the admin console for easier game management. Developers can also expect the integration of Xsolla’s payment systems, all following industry regulations and maintaining Xsolla’s standard of regulatory compliance. Other updates will include a party system, collectible items, tournament systems, loot boxes, and multiplayer voice chat, making the gaming experience even better while ensuring compliance.
