Xsolla attended and had a wonderful time with Europe's largest gaming industry gathering at devcom and gamescom this year. Over five days in Cologne, Germany, our team showcased our commitment to the gaming industry with an awe-inspiring booth, 3 insightful speaking sessions, and a game night full of snacks, refreshments, and fun. Below, we've rounded up our wins and a few images highlighting the massive 2023 conference.


The Xsolla booth served as our team's vibrant hub, teeming with activity throughout the conference. Attendees enthusiastically kickstarted their day courtesy of our skilled barista, who expertly brewed and served over 1,000 cups of coffee throughout the conference. Our booth featured ample cozy seating arrangements and dedicated breakout spaces, facilitating interactions with over 1,500 professionals from the gaming industry. These engagements encompassed fruitful discussions, forging new partnerships, and invaluable support for game developers seeking to elevate their projects to new heights.


Our team kept the knowledge flowing with three topical speaking sessions during devcom. Each talk covered topics relevant to the gaming industry, featuring Xsolla experts and esteemed partners. If you missed out on these in-person sessions, don't worry; they are available on our YouTube channel for your viewing pleasure.

Enjoy the Game: The State of the Industry

President of Xsolla, Chris Hewish, deep dives into the past and near future of the gaming industry alongside an esteemed panel including Sharon Fisher, Head of Trust & Safety at Keyword Studios, Michail Katkoff, Founder and President of Deconstructor of Fun, and Kirill Tokarev, CEO of 80 Level.

Giving Gamers More Rewarding Ways to P(l)ay

Chris Lamorte, Senior Director at Mastercard, and Berkley Egenes, CMO at Xsolla, discuss next-generation payment technologies and loyalty solutions for in-game payments. They'll address the challenges gamers face and how to ensure seamless, secure, and rewarding payment experiences with microtransactions, subscriptions, and digital assets on the rise.

How to Craft the Perfect Pitch
Nathan Sölbrandt, BD of Funding at Xsolla, and Justin Berenbaum, VP of Strategy and GM of Funding Club, provide valuable insights on how to pitch your game to maximize the chances of your game going live. 


Following the success of Xsolla Game Night at GDC 2023, we continued to build the community within the gaming industry with our second installment of Xsolla Game Night. We again partnered with Deconstructor of Fun and found new partnerships with data.ai, devcom, and Mastercard to host a memorable evening of classic tabletop games. 

The event, spanning 3.5 hours, saw a remarkable turnout of over 375 competitive attendees who engaged in over 600 rounds of various tabletop games. The energy was palpable, and the fun infectious; no one wanted the night to end

Our team had a blast connecting with the larger gaming industry community to form more partnerships and help game developers and publishers take their games to new heights.
