Xsolla, a global video game commerce company for game devs, has partnered with Flexion, a games marketing company.

The partners will enable game developers to expand into alternative markets worldwide. Together, the companies will integrate Flexion’s proven distribution expertise with Xsolla’s payment solutions to help developers increase revenue, expand reach, and build direct engagement with players.

As developers gain new freedoms in how they distribute and monetize mobile games, they face challenges in maximizing margins and reaching players across diverse markets. The Xsolla + Flexion partnership offers a streamlined solution by combining alternative distribution channels with frictionless in-game payments. This empowers developers to capture new revenue opportunities while providing players with localized, seamless experiences.

“Xsolla is committed to helping developers expand their reach and strengthen their business models with flexible monetization solutions,” said Chris Hewish, president of Xsolla, in a statement. “By partnering with Flexion, we are combining two proven areas of expertise, distribution and payments, to deliver greater freedom, stronger margins, and meaningful connections between developers and players.”

Seamless Integration: Flexion’s decade-long expertise in alternative markets ensures integration is low-risk for developers and seamless for players.

“Flexion helps bring many of the world’s top-grossing games to new markets. The partnership with Xsolla means our developers now get out-of-the-box, frictionless IAP as part of Flexion’s integration. They will have the freedom to market their games with higher-margin payment methods both through web stores and app stores,” said Jens Lauritzson, CEO and founder of Flexion, in a statement.
