Gaming's Biggest Week Just Got Bigger
Summer Game Fest has cemented itself as one of the most important annual moments in the gaming calendar — a week where developers, publishers, media, creators, and players converge in Los Angeles for announcements, showcases, and meaningful industry connections. This year, Xsolla is showing up in a big way. From June 4–8, 2026, Xsolla will participate in and sponsor several of the week's most influential gatherings, reinforcing its commitment to building the tools and community infrastructure that help studios of all sizes grow sustainable gaming businesses.Tackling IP Licensing Head-On at GamesBeat Engage
Kicking off the week on Thursday, June 4, Xsolla will sponsor GamesBeat Engage — a forum bringing together gaming executives, developers, investors, and thought leaders to explore the future of interactive entertainment. Xsolla Chief Marketing & Growth Officer Berkley Egenes and Mark Caplan, Global IP Licensing Advisor at Xsolla Agency, will join a panel titled "Closing the Gap: Solving the Friction in Entertainment IP Deals." The session takes a direct look at one of the industry's most persistent pain points: how developers can identify, access, and successfully integrate entertainment-based IP into their games — without getting tangled in the process. The panel runs 4:00–6:00 PM PT at Honeypot LA.Championing Indie Developers at Day of the Devs and The MIX
On Friday, June 5, Xsolla will serve as a sponsor of two beloved indie-focused showcases: Day of the Devs at the Dolby Theatre and The MIX Summer Game Showcase at the Grammy Museum. Both events are widely respected for spotlighting innovative independent games and creating genuine opportunities for developers to connect with media, publishers, creators, and players. Xsolla's sponsorship continues its longstanding dedication to supporting indie studios and helping them build the visibility and relationships they need to thrive.Connecting Developers at Xsolla Connect LA
Rounding out the week, Xsolla Connect LA will bring together game developers and industry professionals for direct conversations, networking, and the kind of relationship-building that defines a productive SGF week. It's a space designed for studios seeking practical guidance on launching, growing, and monetizing their games.Building Connections That Last
"Summer Game Fest kicks off the summer for the video game industry and represents an incredible opportunity to connect with the broader gaming community," said Berkley Egenes. "Through our partnerships, we're creating meaningful connections for developers to build relationships, gain visibility, and accelerate their path to success."
