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

Game developers and publishers can now accept the local payment methods players already use, across markets from Indonesia and the Philippines to Germany, France, and the United States, with no additional integration required for any individual method.

Integrating 15+ new methods helps developers capture previously unreachable revenue and drastically reduce checkout abandonment, delivered through the existing Xsolla Payments integration, so studios can expand their global reach and secure every transaction without additional development complexity.
