Xsolla strengthens Southeast Asia presence with major events in Bangkok

October 23, 2025•3 min

Southeast Asia is quickly becoming one of the most exciting frontiers in the global games industry, and Xsolla is leading the charge. Last week, the global video game commerce company wrapped up two major events in Bangkok: Xsolla Connect Bangkok 2025 and gamescom asia x Thailand Game Show 2025. The back-to-back events highlighted the region’s rising influence in game development and monetization, underscoring Xsolla’s commitment to supporting developers across Asia.

Connecting global ambition with regional creativity

Xsolla Connect Bangkok, held October 15 at the Mövenpick Hotel Sukhumvit 15, welcomed over 100 guests from regional studios and international partners. Unlike large-scale expos, Xsolla Connect is purpose-built for focused, one-on-one networking. It’s where real conversations happen, not just panels. The Bangkok edition featured keynote talks from Xsolla executives and local creators like bjornzeys, Jubjang Ch, medploy.style, Bhumsmart, and Necross Melphist. The vibe? Creative, authentic, and immersive. Attendees praised the event’s hands-on atmosphere and unique cultural touchpoints that brought Thai game development into the global spotlight.

Making an impact at Asia’s biggest gaming showcase

Immediately following Xsolla Connect, the team expanded its presence at gamescom asia x Thailand Game Show 2025, held October 16 - 19 at Queen Sirikit National Convention Center. For the first time, gamescom asia and Thailand Game Show joined forces to create a massive B2B + B2C event - drawing more than 80,000 visitors. Xsolla’s booth stood out as a go-to destination for developers, publishers, and studios looking to grow their business in Asia. The team showcased its expanding suite of tools, including:

Direct-to-consumer commerce: Demonstrations of Xsolla Web Shop, Launcher, and In-Game Store, empowering developers to build independent player ecosystems and boost retention.
Global payments at local scale: Insights into Xsolla Pay Station and Pay Fac, providing seamless transaction support with over 700 payment methods across 200 regions, including Thailand’s leading platforms.
LiveOps and player retention: Interactive sessions highlighting the Xsolla LiveOps Management Suite, designed to sustain long-term player engagement across platforms.
Developer support: One-on-one consultations connecting developers with Xsolla experts to explore funding, marketing, and publishing opportunities.

Chief Marketing and Growth Officer Berkley Egenes also joined the “Breaking Barriers” panel at the event, speaking about how alternative payments and D2C strategies can help developers unlock global profit potential.

Real results, real momentum

Across both events, Xsolla hosted hundreds of business meetings, sparked dozens of new partnership discussions, and generated strong press and social coverage throughout the region. “Southeast Asia continues to set the pace for innovation and creativity in the global games industry,” said Berkley Egenes, Chief Marketing and Growth Officer at Xsolla. “What we achieved in Bangkok reflects the power of connection between technology and talent, between local culture and global opportunity. The energy we witnessed from developers and partners shows that the future of gaming will be shaped as much here as anywhere else in the world.”

What’s next?

Following the success in Bangkok, Xsolla plans to expand its Connect series across Asia, Europe, and North America in 2026 - further fueling its mission to empower developers everywhere. Whether you’re in a studio looking to grow in Asia or a creator ready to go global, Xsolla’s ecosystem of tools, payments, and support is built to help you get there. Want to learn more?
