XSOLLA EXPANDS PAYMENTS IN ASIA TO POWER LOCALISED MOBILE GAMING MONETISATION

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 18 (Bernama) -- Xsolla has announced a major expansion of its payments solution across Southeast Asia and Japan, reinforcing its commitment to delivering localised, mobile-first checkout experiences in the world’s fastest-growing gaming markets.

“Asia continues to lead the global gaming economy, especially in mobile. To succeed in this region, developers must meet players where they are on their devices, in their language, and through their preferred payment methods.

“With this expansion, we are helping developers turn interest into transactions and build meaningful, localised experiences across Asia,” said Xsolla President, Chris Hewish in a statement.

Developers and publishers can offer more trusted regional payment methods to players across Asia, boosting conversions and driving long-term engagement, with the launch of ShopeePay in Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand; FPX in Malaysia; K PLUS and AIS in Thailand; Indosat in Indonesia; and MerPay in Japan, via Xsolla Pay Station.

Key benefits of the payments in Asia expansion include trusted local payment methods with proven reach, as Xsolla Pay Station supports ShopeePay, FPX, K PLUS, AIS, Indosat and MerPay, in which these integrations reflect regional dominance and user trust across the Asian markets.

In addition, checkout flows are fully localised, providing players with regionally tailored language support for a more intuitive, frictionless payment experience, with payment journeys designed for mobile behaviour, supporting QR codes, banking apps, and carrier billing without redirects or unnecessary friction.

Furthermore, familiar payment options and native-language checkout reduce cart drop-off and improve transaction success, especially among underbanked users who rely on wallets and telecom billing.

Built on Xsolla’s vast coverage and existing infrastructure, these additions strengthen its position as the go-to partner for developers expanding into Asia.

With Pay Station’s new localised methods, developers can deliver smoother, faster, and more trusted checkout experiences that align with player behaviour across key tiger markets.
