revenue potential, Xsolla Mobile SDK is the gateway to efficiently
and effectively achieve these goals. This release introduces a
pivotal solution for the DMA Age, empowering developers worldwide

The launch of the Xsolla Mobile SDK aligns with recent
legislative changes worldwide, including in the European Union,
particularly the Digital Markets Act (DMA), and confirmed roll-out
in Japan and the UK in 2025. This shift represents a critical
development in the digital marketplace, providing developers with
new monetization avenues to help drive more profits by going beyond
traditional app store limitations.
Xsolla’s Mobile SDK Enables Out-of-Store Transactions
Xsolla's Mobile SDK streamlines the process for developers
seeking distribution solutions outside the Google Play and App
Store. The SDK enables Pay Station to be the primary option for
accepting payments for out-of-store transactions. Android
developers can integrate it into a self-distributed APK,
distributed with channeling partners supporting alternative billing
methods. It is also tailored for Web Distribution and App
Marketplaces for iOS notarized Apps. Moreover, it is compatible
with various game engines, from Unity to Native, making it a
versatile and valuable tool for developers looking to enhance their
in-game payment experience. Xsolla Mobile SDK complements a Web
Shop to enhance out-of-store distribution strategies.
Xsolla’s Mobile SDK Enhances In-Store Transactions with
Compliance under DMA
The SDK's features include seamless integration into games
already supported by the Google Play Billing Library or Apple
StoreKit integrations. Xsolla's Mobile SDK provides additional
functionality or replaces billing options tailored to meet Google
Play (UCB) and Apple's requirements under the Digital Markets Act
(DMA). With Xsolla’s Mobile SDK, games can accept payments with
700+ local payment methods in 200+ territories.
As new regulations emerge, this SDK ensures a smooth expansion
to new billing models while maintaining compliance with platform
requirements powered by Xsolla Pay Station in other regions.
"With the introduction of our Mobile SDK, Xsolla reaffirms its
commitment to supporting mobile game developers through the
evolving digital and regulatory economy," said David Stelzer,
President of Xsolla. "We're here to help developers navigate the
regulatory and compliance changes easily, providing them with the
tools to expand their payment options, reduce commission costs, and
ultimately drive greater profitability for their mobile games."
The newly released Xsolla Mobile SDK for Android has been
available for developers worldwide since today, with iOS support in
early access available for those operating within the European
Union.
