Xsolla integrated Paytm’s digital wallet, Unified Payment Interface (UPI), and online banking payment solutions into its Pay Station platform. Video game developers and publishers can monetise their products in India, giving them access to the gaming marketplace of more than 400 million gamers.
The video game company’s officials stated that India has become one of the fastest-growing game economies in Asia, bringing in approximately USD 1.5 billion annually, with growth expected to nearly triple by 2024. Historically, India’s payments market has been dominated by cash, and is only now evolving to meet the demands of its increasingly smartphone-led online shopping culture, they added.
