The U.S. is now leading the push for more open app ecosystems, with similar moves in the UK, Europe, Japan, Brazil, and beyond to allow external payments. The Xsolla Web Shop enables studios to embrace this shift, increasing margins on every transaction as monetization options expand beyond app stores.
Key benefits of the new plug-in features in Xsolla Web Shop include:
- Unlock higher margins via seamless purchases with Buy Button*: Retain up to 95% revenue on iOS and Android transactions in the U.S by linking players directly from inside the game to a seamless, one-tap checkout.
- Higher retention and engagement: Boost player retention by 20%+ and Web Shop revenue by 15%+ with features designed to keep users coming back and spending more:
- Adjustable daily rewards can be launched with just a few clicks, encouraging repeat visits.
- Privacy-compliant segmentation drives purchase conversion by presenting the right offers to the right customers.
- Out-of-the-box insight system with expert-backed, actionable suggestions, helping teams launch best-practice campaigns with speed-to-impact.
- Extend Web Shop's reach into trusted channels: Grow incremental revenue and new payer growth by reusing a single Web Shop catalog across creator, community, and messaging platforms, including Discord.
- Creators become trusted growth channels. With auto-generated Creator Storefronts, they can promote your Web Shop offers through their own branded page, driving trackable sales, tips, and fan engagement, while studios capture incremental revenue through seamless revenue share.
- Communities become commerce. Discord channels double as storefronts, letting players purchase currency, bundles, and gifts directly where they already gather.
- Unlock new revenue from non-paying users with Offerwall: Engage a broader audience through Offerwall. This integrated marketplace enables players to earn in-game rewards by completing quests without leaving the storefront or compromising their player experience. Early results show that the Offerwall increases total Web Shop revenue by 5% and boosts overall payment transactions by 37%, unlocking meaningful incremental growth from non-paying users.
- Optimized ROI with the broadest coverage of MMPs (mobile measurement partners) on the market: Attribution where you need it. Seamless integrations with AppsFlyer, Adjust, Singular, and others provide reliable performance tracking and campaign optimization across devices and platforms.
“With this release, we’re not just shipping features, we’re giving mobile studios a complete D2C advantage,” said Chris Hewish, President at Xsolla. “As the U.S. market opens, mobile game developers need a way to keep more of every dollar while engaging players where they already are. Web Shop, Buy Button, and our creator and community extensions are designed to help teams seize this historic moment and scale smarter.”

European Firms Struggle to Keep Pace with Growing DSAR Demands, New Reveal Study Finds6.10.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press Release
New research published today byReveal, the provider of integrated AI-native platforms spanning the dispute resolution lifecycle, found that large European organisations complete fewer than half of data subject access requests (DSARs) within the one-month deadline required under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a shortfall the study ties directly to a near-universal absence of purpose-built technology. Nearly nine in 10 organisations still run DSARs on manual or general-purpose workflows, with no dedicated tooling in place. The report, based on a survey of 213 legal and privacy professionals at large European enterprises, is the first of its kind to benchmark how organisations across the region are managing DSAR compliance at scale. The findings expose structural inconsistencies between how organisations perceive their DSAR processes and how those processes perform. Ninety percent of respondents said they are confident their process would withstand scrutiny from an Informa

View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20261006443167/en/ Graphic: Xsolla Video games are one of the largest categories of entertainment spending in the world, yet most brands still treat the category as an experiment: a one-off promotional stunt or a single media buy, not a lasting engagement program. The traditional formats brands default to were never built for players. Interstitial pop-ups disrupt gameplay, banner ads go unnoticed, and in-game activations remain cumbersome and expensive to execute. The idea is already proven in games, where players have purchased, collected, and valued digital items for years. The relationship between players and games is built on t
