How Xsolla Metasite™ empowers Unreal creators

August 15, 2025•4 min

In an industry where innovation often gets tangled in complexity, our new Xsolla Metasite™ platform for Unreal Engine creators cuts through the noise. Rather than merely announcing another tool, this evolution in the Xsolla ecosystem addresses a critical developer and creator need: building and sharing immersive multiplayer experiences without barriers. Let’s unpack what this means and why it’s valuable for game developers, creators, and digital communities.

Removing metaverse barriers

Historically, developing and launching interactive 3D multiplayer experiences has required overcoming significant technical and operational challenges:

High user friction. Most platforms require players to download large files, install updates, and configure settings before engaging with content. These additional steps increase user drop-off rates, especially for new or casual players.
Backend infrastructure demands. Developers and creators must typically manage dedicated servers, handle matchmaking logic, and scale session capacity to support concurrent users, tasks that often fall outside the core development workflow.
Limited monetization integration. Implementing payment systems for in-game purchases or gated content frequently involves third-party plugins, custom development, and ongoing compliance management.
Fragmented toolchains. Supporting multiplayer, voice communication, and social features often requires integrating multiple SDKs or APIs, adding complexity and increasing the risk of performance bottlenecks.

These challenges present real obstacles for teams aiming to deliver immersive, socially connected experiences at scale, particularly for independent developers or smaller studios with limited technical resources. Xsolla Metasite™ helps you surpass these limitations by providing a browser-based platform purpose-built for Unreal Engine developers and creators. With no downloads, no backend management, and no third-party dependencies required, Metasite™ allows teams to:

Instantly deploy multiplayer 3D experiences accessible via a simple URL
Rely on built-in session architecture capable of supporting over 10,000 concurrent users
Activate integrated voice/text chat and player referral systems without additional setup
Monetize through Xsolla’s pre-integrated, globally compliant payment ecosystem

By reducing the overhead required to build, launch, and scale interactive virtual environments, Metasite™ enables developers to focus on creative output while maintaining full control over user experience and monetization strategy.

Streamline development, deployment, and monetization

The latest version of Xsolla Metasite™ delivers a focused set of technical features that simplify the creation, launch, and monetization of real-time 3D environments built with Unreal Engine. These enhancements remove infrastructure overhead, simplify distribution, and enable immediate user access across devices.

Browser-based deployment. Developers can publish Unreal Engine projects directly to a web link—no downloads or installations required. Powered by WebGL and cloud streaming, this enables immediate user access across devices and simplifies distribution.
Native Unreal Engine support. A dedicated plugin streamlines multiplayer setup, live updates, and content deployment. Developers can manage sessions and publish updates in real time without leaving the Unreal Engine environment.
Built-in monetization tools. Metasites integrates Xsolla’s global payments system, supporting in-game purchases, virtual currencies, and direct sales. Monetization is available out of the box and requires no additional third-party systems.
Scalable multiplayer and social features. Quark-powered architecture enables 10,000+ concurrent users, with integrated voice/text chat, avatar customization, and referral tools. These features support both community building and live event execution.

These tools allow developers and creators to build persistent social hubs, event-driven multiplayer spaces, or interactive galleries without requiring third-party middleware or separate infrastructure layers. While the concept of the Metaverse continues to attract investment and interest, previous implementations have faced clear limitations, primarily with accessibility, scalability, and monetization. These challenges have constrained developer adoption and limited user engagement. Metasite™ directly addresses these issues by offering access to 3D environments without any installation or hardware constraints, simplified deployment with an Unreal Engine plugin, and integrated monetization. This infrastructure allows developers to shift focus from platform constraints to user experience design and content creation.

How developers can leverage Metasite™

The latest release of Xsolla Metasite™ offers a robust solution for creators seeking to deliver scalable, real-time 3D experiences. By reducing infrastructure complexity and integrating multiplayer and monetization features at the platform level, Metasite™ supports a wide range of uses, from game demos to virtual exhibits and social environments. Metasite™ is available to individual developers, studios, and digital creators building with Unreal Engine. Getting started involves three steps:

Deploy a real-time Unreal Engine project via Xsolla’s plugin to a shareable web-based instance.
Distribute the link across channels; no client installation or account creation required for end users.
Monetize through Xsolla’s integrated tools, including item sales, game keys, or digital currencies.

Whether you're exploring new prototypes or preparing to launch a full-scale 3D experience, Xsolla Metasite™ provides the infrastructure and tools to support fast deployment and improved monetization.
