Xsolla and Aethir are partnering to support video game development and distribution of games in the cloud. Together, we are announcing the launch of an exclusive $1M ecosystem grant program for innovative video game developers needing access to cutting-edge GPU computing services and streamlined cloud gaming distribution channels. The grant program is designed to offer hands-on support to game developers with clear visions of innovative gameplay experiences, facilitated by Aethir’s decentralized GPU cloud and Xsolla’s cloud gaming platform. The grant program is being announced ahead of the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco, one of the largest global gaming events, signifying Xsolla and Aethir’s dedication to supporting cloud gaming evolution.
