Gcore's edge network to deliver Xsolla Launcher, ensuring
global reach, smoother game downloads and higher conversion
rates
LUXEMBOURG, May 21, 2024
May 21, 2024 — Gcore, the global edge AI,
cloud, network, and security solutions provider, announced its
partnership with video game commerce company Xsolla. The alliance
will enable Xsolla to provide game developers and publishers with
new global distribution channels catering to gamers worldwide,
regardless of their locations. With Gcore's 180 global points of
presence (PoPs), players will benefit from reduced time-to-play and
smoother, more efficient game downloads.
Xsolla Launcher is a powerful tool for game development
companies of all sizes to widen distribution and easily build
communities. It streamlines game installation, enhances player
communication, and boosts monetization, allowing developers to
concentrate on creativity and business logic. By leveraging Gcore's
robust CDN, Xsolla Launcher ensures seamless, speedy game downloads
for all players by efficiently fetching and caching game components
and initiating rapid downloads upon player request.
"At Xsolla, we're committed to elevating the gaming experience
for developers and players globally," said David Stelzer, President of Xsolla. "Our
collaboration with Gcore's cutting-edge CDN technology
significantly narrows the gap between the game and its players by
delivering assets at unparalleled speed. This integration into our
new Xsolla Launcher sets the bar for high-performance service and
empowers our customers to focus on what they do best: create
captivating games."
Xsolla engineers chose Gcore CDN for its global network of 180+
edge servers, ensuring uninterrupted delivery of game assets
worldwide. With a network capacity exceeding 110 Tbps and
connectivity to 14,000 peering partners, Gcore averts congestion
and disruptions, even during major releases. Operating
under strict security measures and meticulous server
maintenance, Gcore guarantees exceptional availability.
Additionally, Gcore's CDN integration with its proprietary DNS
services further minimizes the risk of service interruptions or
outages.
"We're thrilled to be part of Xsolla's pioneering solution,
driving the gaming industry forward," commented Ilya Matveev, Business Development Director at
Gcore. "Xsolla Launcher brings flexibility to the industry,
allowing companies to implement a D2C approach - a way to monetize
their existing game fan base without the burden of platform fees.
Relying on the power of Gcore's edge infrastructure, Xsolla
Launcher is revolutionizing game distribution by eliminating market
barriers, reducing development costs, and fostering
creativity."
