Xsolla

Xsolla is a video game commerce company founded in 2005 that operates as a merchant of record for the games industry - meaning it assumes the payment, tax, fraud and regulatory obligations attached to a transaction, leaving developers to concentrate on game production. Its global payments platform spans more than 200 geographies and supports over 1,000 payment methods, alongside tax handling, fraud prevention and regulatory compliance services. The company works with creators of all sizes, from independent studios to AAA publishers.

The business is approaching its 20-year mark and employs 1,079 professionals across 16 offices. Its technical focus areas include payments technology, tax compliance, fraud prevention and merchant of record services - the infrastructure layer beneath digital game distribution and monetisation, where cross-border complexity is the principal barrier to entry.

Alongside its commerce operations, Xsolla runs an accelerator for game developers, providing structured mentorship, education and connections to funding. The programme reflects a strategy of embedding the company within the developer ecosystem it serves, rather than acting solely as a downstream payment processor.

Internally, the company offers hybrid and remote work options, flexible time off and comprehensive benefits. It describes its culture as grounded in equal access and opportunity, with a stated mission of removing barriers between creators and players.
