Xsolla, a global commerce company, has acquired GamePix, a web games platform that publishes and distributes browser games worldwide. GamePix brings a catalog of 10,000+ web titles, a community of 4,000+ developers, and a publishing solution that allows any game to be played in a web browser. Xsolla adds its commerce infrastructure to monetize these video games across 200+ geographies, giving developers a single path from a finished game to a paying, global audience.
GamePix handles every step between a finished video game and its players, including publishing, SDK integration, QA, distribution, and monetization, all through one integration. Its proprietary porting technology converts Unity and C++ titles for PC and mobile into web builds up to 90% smaller in load size, with the same gameplay and nothing to install. With Xsolla, GamePix developers and studios now gain payment access across 200+ geographies, 1,000+ payment methods, and player engagement tools from day one.
The acquisition is a strategic move by Xsolla to expand its web-based video game distribution and monetization capabilities. According to Chris Hewish, President of Xsolla, “The browser is the most open platform for video games, and GamePix has spent more than a decade building one of the strongest web-based ecosystems.” Edouard Wawra, CEO and Co-Founder of GamePix, added, “Joining Xsolla isn't the finish line; it's a change of scale. What we built for thousands of developers, we can now bring to the whole video game industry.”
