LOS ANGELES — Xsolla, a global video game retail company, announces the launch of its Mobile Software Development Kit (SDK).

This release introduces a key solution for the DMA era, enabling developers worldwide to seamlessly integrate their Android and iOS games with a global payment solution and online store.

The launch of the Xsolla Mobile SDK is in line with recent legislative changes around the world, including in the European Union, specifically the Digital Markets Act (DMA), as well as confirmed rollouts in Japan and the UK in 2025. This change represents a key development in the digital marketplace, providing developers with new monetization opportunities that will help increase profits beyond the traditional constraints of app stores.

Xsolla’s Mobile SDK Enables Out-of-Store Transactions

The Xsolla Mobile SDK streamlines the process for developers looking for distribution solutions beyond Google Play and the App Store. The SDK enables Pay Station to be the primary option for accepting payments for off-the-shelf transactions. Android developers can integrate it into a self-distributed APK, distributed with channel partners that support alternative payment methods. It is also tailored for web distribution and the App Marketplace for notarized iOS apps. It is also compatible with a variety of game engines, from Unity to Native, making it a versatile and valuable tool for developers looking to enhance their in-game payment experience. The Xsolla Mobile SDK complements the online store to enhance off-the-shelf distribution strategies.

Xsolla’s Mobile SDK Streamlines In-Store Transactions with DMA Compliance

SDK features include seamless integration with games already supported by Google Play Billing Library or Apple StoreKit integrations. Xsolla’s Mobile SDK provides additional functionality or replaces billing options aligned with Google Play (UCB) and Apple’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) requirements. With Xsolla’s Mobile SDK, games can accept payments from over 700 local payment methods in over 200 territories.

As new regulations emerge, this SDK ensures seamless expansion to new billing models while maintaining compatibility with platform requirements supported by Xsolla Pay Station in other regions.

“With the launch of our Mobile SDK, Xsolla is reaffirming our commitment to supporting mobile game developers in the evolving digital and regulatory economy,” said David Stelzer, CEO of Xsolla. “We’re here to help game developers easily navigate regulatory and compliance changes by providing them with the tools to expand payment options, reduce commission costs, and ultimately increase the profitability of their mobile games.”
