Xsolla partners with GameJamPlus to empower emerging video game developers
October 14, 2026•2 min
Taking a video game from a rough prototype to a fully monetized live product is one of the most challenging steps for indie game creators. To bridge this gap, Xsolla has officially partnered with GameJamPlus, launching an exciting new collaboration that connects game jam creators with global commerce tools and strategic industry networks.
Kicking Off at Xsolla Connect São Paulo
The partnership launches in Brazil with Xsolla Connect São Paulo powered by GameJamPlus on October 16 at Hub Green Sampa. This private industry event brings together local indie studios, publishers, and video game leaders for an insightful afternoon focused on scaling studios and navigating the global games market.
Attendees will hear directly from industry experts during two key panel discussions: “From Launch to Scale: What It Takes to Build a Global Mobile Hit” and “The Brazilian Mobile Gaming Ecosystem & Local Opportunities.” These sessions offer actionable advice on sustainable growth, user acquisition, and monetization strategies tailored to Latin America's fast-growing gaming ecosystem.
Introducing the "Ready to Launch" Category
A central highlight of the collaboration is Xsolla’s sponsorship of the brand-new Ready to Launch category within GameJamPlus. This initiative is designed to help participating developers move beyond basic game jam prototypes and build real commercial potential.
Every participating studio in this category will build a web storefront using Xsolla Shop Builder and officially list their video game in the Xsolla Shop. By giving emerging developers hands-on experience with direct-to-player commerce, the program arms them with the business tools required to build a sustainable video game studio from day one.
Supporting the Global Developer Community
“Game jams are about getting ideas into players’ hands, and Ready to Launch takes that one step further by giving developers the tools to think about what happens after the prototype,” said Alessandro Biollo Menjivar, Area Vice President, LATAM at Xsolla. “Through our partnership with GameJamPlus, we’re excited to help studios take another step toward launching and growing their video games.” GameJamPlus stands as the world's largest video game development marathon and business accelerator, having united over 15,000 participants across 50+ countries. Together with Xsolla’s global payments infrastructure and commerce solutions, this partnership provides indie creators everywhere with a clear path toward global growth.
