Montreal has long been recognized for its dynamic gaming ecosystem and innovative tech community.

The new office will serve as a hub for Xsolla's operations in Canada, enhancing its ability to offer tailored and localized solutions to its current partners and thousands of new game developers and publishers in the region.

"Montreal is renowned for its dynamic gaming ecosystem and innovative tech community. Our presence here will enable us to better support our local and global partners and tap into the incredible local talent pool," said Xsolla's president, David Stelzer. “This new office in Montreal will be crucial in strengthening our relationships with local game developers and facilitating our mission to empower our partners to reach their full potential.”

As part of this expansion, Xsolla plans to hire up to 50 regional employees over the next two years, targeting a mix of roles in business development, customer support, and technical services. This investment will strengthen its capacity to deliver cutting-edge solutions and exceptional service.
