Xsolla recently announced the expansion of its payment coverage in Portugal by adding MB Way. This development opens growth opportunities for game developers to expand their presence. MB Way is a leading mobile wallet trusted by six million customers. It currently covers 95% of the local banking market. By integrating this tool, Xsolla helps studios offer a localized checkout experience.
Portugal is a digital transformation and mobile gaming leader. Almost 90% of the population is connected to the internet with high smartphone usage. MB Way has the backing of 28 banks and facilitated 496 million transactions in 2024. This integration allows players to complete purchases without entering card details. Developers can now reduce friction and lower cart abandonment rates effectively.
Strategic Expansion and Localized Payment Benefits
The addition of MB Way provides instant and secure transactions for everyone. It fits perfectly into the mobile-first environment of modern gaming. Developers can use these tools to build long-term player loyalty. This results in better retention and revenue growth. Xsolla continues to connect creators with essential local payment methods.
“Bringing a new payment method to Portugal isn’t just about ticking a box; it’s about recognizing the local preferences,” said Chris Hewish, President of Xsolla. “When players feel the payment flow is native to them, adoption accelerates and retention strengthens.”
Xsolla currently helps over 1,500 game developers grow their businesses globally. The company operates as a merchant of record for various studios. It provides the necessary tools to fund, distribute, and market video games. This latest expansion confirms Xsolla’s mission to provide new resources to creators.
