Xsolla has partnered with Affirm to help game developers offer players a more flexible and transparent way to pay for games and in-game content.
The move means Affirm’s payment options are now available to game developers using Xsolla’s payment tools in the US, with plans to expand to Canada and the UK in the coming months.
The partnership allows players to split purchases into interest-free biweekly payments or longer-term monthly instalments for carts starting at $50, without late or hidden fees.
The partnership aims to simplify game purchases for players while giving developers tools to drive deeper engagement and long-term growth. Players can select Affirm at checkout, complete a quick eligibility check, and, if approved, choose a personalised payment plan, whether they are purchasing new games or in-game content.
Xsolla president Chris Hewish said, “At Xsolla, we’re dedicated to building the best commerce and payment solutions for the video game industry—making it easier for developers, from indie studios to enterprise teams, to connect with players around the world.
“By integrating Affirm’s customer-first payment options—known for their flexibility and predictability—we’re empowering developers to offer gamers a smarter way to pay for the content they love while driving deeper engagement and long-term growth.”
Affirm senior vice president of revenue Pat Suh said, “At Affirm, we’re reshaping how people pay by putting transparency and personalization at the center of every transaction.
“Partnering with Xsolla brings these principles to the gaming world. For developers, it means offering their communities a trusted payment option that can help drive engagement and growth. For players, it delivers more control and choice in how they pay for the content they love.”
