Xsolla teams up with Devcom on year-long strategic partnership

Game commerce company Xsolla has been a good sponsor for various game events, including that GamesBeat holds. But it is going deeper in its partnership with Devcom this year.

And the two companies hope it will lead to good things for game developers and creators in emerging countries.
