Xsolla Redefines the Metaverse With New Metasites Platform for Unreal Creators
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Xsolla, a global commerce company helping developers launch, grow and monetize their games, announces today the latest evolution of its Metasite™ platform, designed to meet the growing demand for immersive, accessible, and creator-driven Metaverse experiences. Reimagined for Unreal Engine creators, studios, and digital communities, Xsolla Metasite™ offers a seamless, browser-based experience that enables developers and creators to publish, share, and monetize real-time 3D worlds with built-in multiplayer, voice chat, and monetization tools all without requiring downloads, installations, or backend infrastructure. Powered by advancements in cloud streaming and WebGL, Xsolla Metasite™ is purpose-built for today's creators and developers seeking a better way to deploy multiplayer experiences, simplify distribution, and activate their audiences. Key benefits of the updated Metasites platform include: Frictionless Multiplayer Access: Launch interactive 3D worlds with instant play—no installs or downloads required. Built for Unreal Engine: New plugin support simplifies multiplayer integration, content sharing, and live updates. Creator Monetization: Enable payments for in-game items or access, powered by Xsolla's secure payment ecosystem.

Massive Multiplayer & Community Features: Support for 10,000+ concurrent users (CCU) powered by Quark, with integrated voice and text chat, custom avatars, and scalable session architecture.

With Xsolla Metasite™, players don't need downloads or expensive hardware. They can launch real-time 3D worlds directly in the browser with built-in monetization, multiplayer, and growth tools.' The global Metaverse market is projected to reach $103 billion in value by 2025, with user numbers forecasted to grow to 2.6 billion by 2030.

Xsolla Metasite™ addresses those challenges head-on by focusing on frictionless delivery, freedom for creators and developers, and monetization at scale. The platform supports game demos, social hubs, digital art galleries, multiplayer showcases, and more. With community-building tools at the core, Metasites supports user-driven content, real-time sharing, and scalable monetization through game keys, currency systems like Blue Orbs, or direct player purchases.
