Xsolla Strengthens Vietnam Gaming Presence At GameVerse 2026
KUALA LUMPUR, May 8 (Bernama) -- Xsolla, a global video game commerce company, has announced its participation in Vietnam GameVerse 2026 at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Organised under the direction of Vietnam's Authority of Broadcasting and Electronic Information (ABEI), VnExpress, FPT Online, and the Vietnam Game Alliance, Vietnam GameVerse is the country's largest annual gaming event.
Xsolla in a statement said its presence at Vietnam GameVerse 2026 includes comprehensive branding across the SECC footprint, spanning 40,000 square metres of indoor exhibition space and 20,000 square metres of outdoor activation areas.
In conjunction with the festival, Xsolla will host Xsolla Connect, a series of private executive programming and networking events bringing together leading game developers and publishers from Vietnam and Southeast Asia.
Now in its fourth year, the two-day 2026 edition beginning May 8 carries the theme "Do Local, Go Global" and is expected to attract up to 60,000 attendees.
The festival features the inaugural Southeast Asia Esports Cup, the Vietnam Game Awards, the GameHub startup competition, and expanded business-to-business (B2B) programming connecting local studios with global technology and platform partners.
Xsolla is also strengthening its commitment to Southeast Asia’s video game market, particularly Vietnam, after agreeing to acquire a stake in Wetaps Corporation, a Ho Chi Minh City-based publisher holding relevant local licences for video game operations in the country.
The pending transaction will combine Xsolla’s global commerce technology and Wetaps' regulatory and publishing expertise to provide international developers with a compliant end-to-end pathway into Vietnam’s growing game market.
At GameVerse 2026, Xsolla is showcasing the infrastructure powering game businesses across the region, including the Xsolla Web Shop, a direct-to-consumer storefront outside traditional app stores alongside LiveOps Management tools for events, loyalty mechanics, and promotional campaigns.
