Xsolla to Participate as Platinum Sponsor at the Pocket Gamer Connects Summit San Francisco 2026 Spotlighting Monetization Innovation in Mobile and AI for Games

Featured Programming and Executive Discussions To Address Mobile Growth, Platform Diversification, And AI Adoption

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Xsolla, a global video game commerce company that helps developers launch, grow, and monetize their games, today announced its participation as Platinum Partner at Pocket Gamer Connects Summit San Francisco 2026, taking place on Monday, March 9th at the 715 Harrison Street. The event brings together more than 750 mobile gaming professionals for a full day of focused insights, practical discussions, and high-impact business development opportunities centered on mobile and artificial intelligence.

As mobile competition intensifies and AI continues reshaping production pipelines, LiveOps strategies, and player engagement models, PG Connects Summit provides a concentrated forum for exploring what sustainable growth looks like in 2026 and beyond.

As part of the conference program, Xsolla will host a featured session on building your monetization mix for mobile games.

Session Title: In-Store, In-App, D2C: Building Monetization Mix for 2026

Date & Time: Monday, March 9, 3:10 PM

In this session, Xsolla and SciPlay will outline how leading developers are combining in-app purchases (IAPs), web shops, and emerging direct-to-consumer (D2C) models into a diversified monetization strategy. The discussion will focus on practical frameworks for reducing platform dependency, increasing lifetime value, and building scalable revenue systems that adapt to evolving market conditions.

“Mobile remains one of the most opportunity-rich segments in gaming, yet it is also one of the most operationally complex,” said Berkley Egenes, Chief Marketing & Growth Officer at Xsolla. “Studios are balancing acquisition costs, platform policies, retention pressure, and rapid AI adoption. Events like PGC Summit create space for honest conversations about what sustainable monetization really looks like and how developers can take greater control of their growth.”

In addition to its speaking session, Xsolla will participate in the summit’s invite-only Supper Club dinner on March 10. This private gathering of senior mobile leaders is designed to foster deeper strategic conversations and meaningful partnerships outside the main conference setting.

With many teams reassessing their monetization mix, global payment strategies, and AI-driven workflows, these smaller executive forums provide a valuable environment for discussing real-world implementation challenges and collaboration opportunities.
