KUALA LUMPUR, March 26 (Bernama) -- Xsolla, a global video game commerce company, has expanded its commitment to Latin American (LATAM) game development with the launch of the Journey of Indies (JOIN) Program.

Powered by Xsolla, this LATAM-focused initiative is designed to help indie and mid-tier game developers scale their businesses with commercialisation tools, mentorship, and industry partnerships.

By integrating developers into Xsolla's ecosystem of commercialisation tools, this programme aims to drive innovation, expand opportunities, and generate new revenue streams, according to a statement.

“LATAM is one of the most promising and rapidly growing regions for game development. By partnering with key industry players and investing in local talent, we are committed to providing the necessary resources and knowledge to help developers turn their creative visions into successful businesses,” said Xsolla Chief Strategy Officer, Chris Hewish.

In collaboration with Institutio Conecta and Indie Hero, the initiative will leverage a grant provided by the Secretariat of Science, Technology, and Innovation of the Federal District (SECTI-DF) to establish a video game hub in Brasilia to provide a dedicated space for education, business development, and hands-on commercialisation training.

The JOIN Program aligns with game developers’ associations, industry stakeholders, and public/private entities to unlock the region’s creative potential, offering structured support via exclusive one-year access to educational programmes, mentorship & talent selection, and hands-on commercialisation training.

Additionally, the programme will facilitate industry collaborations and provide publishing and distribution support through Indie Hero’s publishing label, GoGo Games Interactive.

The JOIN Program is now open for applications encouraging indie and mid-tier studios across LATAM to take part in this unparalleled opportunity to scale their businesses with Xsolla’s expertise.
