Xsolla Partners with HP to Promote Global Game Education and Innovation Development

Xsolla, a global leading video game commerce company dedicated to helping game developers publish, grow, and monetize their products, today announced a strategic partnership with HP to connect the global gaming industry’s education, technology, and entrepreneurial ecosystems.

This collaboration combines HP's learning platform with the Xsolla Accelerator program to create an end-to-end ecosystem that supports aspiring creators throughout the entire journey—from learning and development to establishing their own studios. This integrated solution will act as a catalyst for global innovation, promoting new models of game education, project incubation, and career development at scale.

The pilot program will first launch in Saudi Arabia, Azerbaijan, and the United Arab Emirates, aiming to reach over 100,000 students and young creators worldwide. The partnership focuses on four core areas to drive the growth and development of developers globally:

• Integrated Learning Framework – Combining certified courses from HP Gaming Garage in five key areas—game design, esports management, programming development, generative AI, and cybersecurity—with practical mentorship, publishing support, and business readiness training provided by Xsolla Accelerator.
• Accelerator and Incubation Pathways – Offering emerging developers direct access to the Xsolla Accelerator ecosystem, including professional mentorship, funding opportunities, investor readiness, and support for building sustainable studios.
• Innovation Collaboration Programs – Establishing global innovation centers and educational practice hubs to foster deep collaboration among industry experts, educators, and future creators.
• HP Gaming Garage Resource Access – Providing free access to HP’s educational courses through the Xsolla learning network, empowering the global developer community.

Justin Berenbaum, Senior Vice President of Global Industry Relations and Financing at Xsolla, said: “Our collaboration with HP is more than just an alliance—it’s about laying the foundation for the next generation of developers. From education to incubation and investment, this partnership connects every stage of a developer’s journey, opening new opportunities for creators around the world.”
