About the Call for Grant

The program provides developers with educational resources, mentorship, and financial backing, specifically tailored to help studios master monetization, distribution, and global player acquisition. Focus: Game development studios (indie and mid-tier) that have a playable build or a project ready for commercialization.
- Alignment: Projects must be suitable for integration with Xsolla’s suite of monetization and payment tools.
- Goal: Studios seeking not just capital, but professional acceleration, mentorship on financial modeling, and assistance with global launch strategies.
- Geography: Global, including active support for studios in Kazakhstan and the wider CIS/Central Asian region.
