Xsolla Launches Mercado Pago in Uruguay Giving Developers Access to 60M+ Active Users

New Integration with Uruguay’s Leading Digital Wallet Enables Fast, Secure, and Familiar Transactions for Players Across Latin America

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Xsolla, a global video game commerce company that helps developers launch, grow, and monetize their games, today announced the launch of Mercado Pago as a new local payment method in Uruguay. The integration strengthens Xsolla’s presence in Latin America, enabling developers to deliver trusted, mobile-first payment experiences to players in one of the region’s most digitally advanced markets.

Uruguay continues to rank among Latin America’s leaders in digital adoption, with players expecting seamless and familiar payment experiences. As the country’s most popular digital wallet, Mercado Pago serves more than 60 million active users across Latin America, accounting for approximately 77% of wallet-based online payments in the region.

The new integration delivers key benefits for both developers and players:

  • Familiar, trusted payments: Mercado Pago is the leading wallet brand across Latin America, offering confidence and recognition at checkout.
  • Multiple funding options: Players can pay using linked cards, bank accounts, or wallet balances within a single, unified experience.
  • Automated subscriptions: Mercado Pago enables effortless recurring payments that drive retention and make billing easier for developers and players alike.
  • Real-time confirmations: Transactions process instantly, reducing friction and increasing conversion rates.
  • Regional reach: Developers can extend coverage beyond Uruguay to other markets where Mercado Pago is widely adopted, including Brazil, Chile, and Mexico.

“Mercado Pago is one of Latin America’s most trusted financial platforms,” said Chris Hewish, President at Xsolla. “By integrating it in Uruguay, we’re giving developers a powerful way to meet players where they are with the local payment methods they already use and trust.”

With the addition of Mercado Pago, Xsolla continues to expand its global payment ecosystem, enabling developers to reach a wider audience, increase successful transactions, and grow their revenue across key markets worldwide.
