Games commerce firm Xsolla has opened a new office in Beijing, China.

The company said the move signified its “renewed commitment” to growing the industry in China and global markets.

The new branch further establishes Xsolla’s position in China’s games sector, where it already has an office in Guangzhou. Other global offices include its California HQ, London, Berlin, Seoul, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur, Raleigh and others.

"The opening of our office in Beijing marks a pivotal step in Xsolla's journey to facilitate the global expansion of games created and developed in China,” said Xsolla head of the Greater China Region Jingbo Chen.

“Our commitment is to be the cornerstone for developers and publishers, offering them a gateway to explore and excel in international markets.”

Chief marketing and growth officer Berkley Egenes added: "The establishment of our Beijing office is a testament to our belief in the potential of local game developers and their creations on the global stage.

“By fostering closer collaborations and providing direct support, we are excited to play a part in showcasing China's gaming innovation to the world. This initiative underscores our dedication to empowering the gaming community, ensuring our partners have the tools and resources to succeed in an increasingly competitive market."
