Xsolla Releases New Industry Report Identifying the Biggest Opportunities for the Future of Video Games for Developers

 LOS ANGELES 

The Xsolla Report Reveals How Studios Are Unlocking New Revenue, Reaching Global Audiences, and Building Durable Competitive Advantages

 

(BUSINESS WIRE)--Xsolla, a leading global video game commerce company, today released the latest edition of The Xsolla Report, timed to coincide with this week's activations and collaborations in San Francisco. This edition provides insights from working with thousands of studios to map out where the industry’s biggest opportunities are emerging.

The gaming industry remains extraordinarily vibrant, and the playbook for success is changing. Studios that are adapting their commercial strategies, embracing direct-to-player commerce, expanding into high-growth global markets, and leveraging AI to sharpen operations are pulling ahead and building businesses designed to thrive for years to come.

"The economics of game development have and will continue to shift and evolve into the future. Budgets have expanded, player acquisition costs have surged, and traditional publishing models are under increasing strain," said Chris Hewish, President of Xsolla. "We have reached a tipping point where old assumptions no longer hold, and leaders who recognize this shift early will capture disproportionate advantage."

"The conversation around direct-to-consumer in gaming has fundamentally changed coming out of multiple regulatory changes," said Berkley Egenes, Chief Marketing and Growth Officer at Xsolla. "What began as a tactical revenue diversification play has evolved into a strategic imperative for studios to grow and thrive into the future of live-service games.“

Key Findings From The Xsolla Report Include:

Leading game companies are already generating 15–45% of total revenue through D2C web shops, yielding up to 25% more profit per transaction compared to platform-based purchases

High-growth markets like Turkey (13% CAGR), India (11%), and Southeast Asia (6%) represent the industry's most exciting expansion opportunities through 2029

AI is delivering real operational gains, compressing development timelines by roughly 20% and reducing support costs by approximately 40%

"Platform omnivore" gamers who play across consoles, PC, and mobile now represent 43% of US gamers, up from 30%, creating new pathways for studios to reach players wherever they are

Titles with sustainable live service models continue to grow, with PUBG: Battlegrounds reaching approximately 75 million Steam users and Roblox on Xbox climbing to nearly 30 million owners

The April 2025 U.S. court ruling allowing in-app linking to external offers has opened the door for developers to engage players across channels like never before

The report also outlines a clear roadmap for what leaders should prioritize next: building for modularity and faster development cycles, investing in owned audience infrastructure, and turning compliance into a competitive advantage as global markets open up.

"We're entering a period where the studios with strong foundational commercial infrastructure will outperform those with superior creative execution alone," added Egenes. "D2C is becoming a table-stakes requirement for ambitious live-service games, and the studios that treat this moment as strategic will be the ones defining the future of mobile gaming success."

The full Xsolla Report is available for download at: xsolla.pro/xsolla-report-v9.

About Xsolla

Xsolla is a global commerce company with robust tools and services to help developers solve the inherent challenges of the video game industry. From indie to AAA, companies partner with Xsolla to help them fund, distribute, market, and monetize their games. Grounded in the belief in the future of video games, Xsolla is resolute in the mission to bring opportunities together, and continually make new resources available to creators.

NTT DATA Unveils NVIDIA-Powered Enterprise AI Factories to Support Secure AI Adoption and Help Clients Drive Measurable ROI

TOKYO & LONDON - Wednesday, 11. March 2026

NTT DATA drives success in healthcare, manufacturing and other sectors with NVIDIA-powered technologies

NTT DATA AI solutions now integrate NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, including NVIDIA NeMo and NIM Microservices to create a full-stack, production-ready, GPU-accelerated agentic AI platform

 

(BUSINESS WIRE)--NTT DATA, a global leader in AI, digital business and technology services, announced an initiative to deliver NVIDIA-powered enterprise AI factories that drive innovation and operational excellence for organizations worldwide. NTT DATA’s new enterprise AI factories provide full-stack, domain-specific solutions that integrate data, infrastructure, workflows and governance to give organizations a repeatable and production-ready operating model for enterprise AI.

NTT DATA enterprise AI factories, powered by NVIDIA, are adaptive, intelligent and automated ecosystems designed to help clients accelerate return on investment by scaling enterprise AI efficiently and managing the full AI lifecycle end to end. The company’s new enterprise AI factories integrate the NVIDIA AI infrastructure—combining GPU-accelerated computing and high-performance networking—with NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, including NVIDIA NIM microservices, to deliver high‑throughput, low‑latency AI that can be deployed consistently across cloud, data center and edge environments. Through NTT DATA’s advanced solutions and services, this enables scalable model training, inference and enterprise AI application development.

Building on NTT DATA’s end-to-end capabilities and deep industry expertise, the NVIDIA-powered enterprise AI factories are purpose-built to meet domain-specific requirements at industry scale. This enables organizations to drive faster innovation, optimize operations, enhance knowledge management and support data-driven decision-making while reducing risk and time to value.

“Visionary enterprises are redesigning core workflows end to end with AI, and they need trusted partners working in unison to achieve transformative and measurable results,” said Abhijit Dubey, CEO, NTT DATA, Inc. “By integrating NVIDIA technologies into our enterprise AI factories, we’re giving clients a powerful, standardized and secure environment to adopt agentic AI with measurable returns from the start.”

NTT DATA Real-World Deployments Demonstrate Measurable Impact

Early adopters are demonstrating how NTT DATA is deploying NVIDIA AI infrastructure to translate advanced AI capabilities into real-world, domain-specific impact. Examples include:

Healthcare: A leading cancer-research hospital is working with NTT DATA and Dell to use NVIDIA HGX platforms for advanced radiology analysis and rapid model evaluation, supporting clinical research and diagnostic workflows.

Automotive Manufacturing: A global automotive supplier partnered with NTT DATA to accelerate smart factory modernization using GPU as a Service powered by NVIDIA AI infrastructure. This manufacturer reduced production setup time from months to days by validating workloads on bare metal and then scaling them via an AI-factory architecture.

Technology Manufacturing: A U.S.-based advanced manufacturing company is working with NTT DATA to virtually validate a next-generation battery production line using NVIDIA-accelerated simulation and 3D visualization. Modeling material flow, automation logic and production scenarios before physical deployment reduces commissioning risk, improves throughput and establishes a scalable foundation for future digital factory expansion.

NTT DATA Integrates NVIDIA NeMo and NIM Microservices

NTT DATA also has expanded NTT DATA AI solutions by integrating NVIDIA NeMo, a modular software suite for building, customizing, and managing enterprise-scale agentic AI systems on GPU-accelerated infrastructure, and NVIDIA NIM microservices, which provide prebuilt, GPU‑optimized containers with industry‑standard APIs for fast, reliable deployment of AI applications at scale.

NTT DATA offers integrated, prequalified GenAI prototypes and solutions that standardize output, minimize complexity, reduce risk, speed adoption and accelerate return. With the integration of NeMo and NIM, NTT DATA AI solutions provide a full-stack, production-ready, GPU-accelerated AI agent platform.

“Organizations worldwide are moving from isolated model adoption to intelligent AI solutions and platforms, often complementing GenAI with agents that reason, act and adapt within enterprise systems,” said Yutaka Sasaki, President and CEO, NTT DATA Group. “Embedding NVIDIA technologies into our platforms accelerates innovation while giving clients the performance, control and compliance they require.”

“Enterprises are now seeking robust, scalable platforms that can successfully transition their AI initiatives from pilot projects to full-scale production,” said John Fanelli, Vice President, Enterprise Software, NVIDIA. “NTT DATA’s AI factory offerings, built on the NVIDIA full-stack platform, provide clients with the domain-specific solutions needed to confidently achieve production-grade enterprise AI at scale.”

NTT DATA Builds on Longstanding Foundation of Innovation with NVIDIA Technology

NTT DATA is the only global IT services provider that is active across NVIDIA’s Solution Provider, Cloud Partner and Global System Integrator Partner Network tracks. This broad and deep expertise enables NTT DATA to deliver unique full-stack services, from advisory to deployment and operations.

SLB Provides Update on Middle East Operations and First Quarter Outlook

 (BUSINESS WIRE)--SLB (NYSE: SLB) continues to closely monitor the unfolding situation in the Middle East and adapt its operations.

The safety and security of SLB’s employees is the highest priority, and the company has activated local and regional crisis response teams that are meeting daily. Travel to and transit through the region have been suspended, and the company has begun to demobilize operations in a few countries in response to customer actions to safeguard personnel and facilities. These measures will continue as long as necessary until the environment in the region has stabilized. SLB is working closely with local authorities and its customers to monitor the situation and will begin a phased resumption of full activity as conditions allow.

SLB revenue for the first quarter will be lower than expected, and the company expects to incur additional costs resulting in an impact of approximately 6-9 cents of earnings per diluted share for the first quarter. Given the dynamic nature of the environment, these factors could change, and we will continue to closely monitor developments and their impact.

Despite these near-term disruptions, SLB remains confident in the underlying resilience of its global business, including the Middle East. The company has dealt with numerous geopolitical crises throughout its 100-year history and has deep experience navigating these challenges while remaining focused on serving its global customer base.

About SLB

SLB (NYSE: SLB) is a global technology company that has driven energy innovation for 100 years. With a global footprint in more than 100 countries and employees representing almost twice as many nationalities, we work each day on innovating oil and gas, delivering digital at scale, decarbonizing industries, and developing and scaling new energy systems that accelerate the energy transition.

IFF Expands Latin American Footprint With New Enzyme Hub, Brazil Application Lab

 (BUSINESS WIRE)--IFF (NYSE: IFF) — a global leader in flavors, fragrances, food ingredients and health & biosciences — is enhancing regional production and innovation capabilities to better support the continued growth of its Health & Biosciences (H&B) business in Latin America, one of the fastest-growing markets for the company. The effort includes the transformation of the Arroyito site in Argentina into IFF’s first full fermentation‑based enzyme production hub in the region and the opening of a household care application laboratory at IFF’s Innovation Center in Brazil. Together, these enhancements expand IFF’s regional footprint and are expected to improve speed, reliability and locally relevant solutions for markets including brewing, animal nutrition, biofuels and home care.

“This is about turning science into impact where it matters most,” said Letícia Gonçalves, president of IFF H&B. “By bringing world‑class fermentation and application capabilities to Latin America, we are accelerating innovation for our customers and translating that into better food, more effective cleaning solutions and everyday products that improve quality of life for millions of consumers across the region.”

Building a regional enzyme production hub

IFF’s deep expertise in fermentation technology is at the heart of the Arroyito expansion, enabling the production of high‑performance enzymes through controlled biological processes that deliver consistent results under real‑world manufacturing conditions while reducing environmental impact. With the enhancements, IFF will now produce enzymes locally from the initial biological stage rather than relying solely on final processing and packaging steps, improving performance reliability, increasing processing efficiency and enabling faster adjustments as customer needs evolve across applications including brewing, animal nutrition, biofuels and home care.

Advancing applied innovation in home and personal Care

Complementing the Arroyito plant transformation, IFF’s new household care application laboratory in Brazil is designed to help customers evaluate and optimize enzyme performance under real regional conditions. The laboratory supports laundry and dishwashing applications, enabling faster testing, improved formulation accuracy and closer collaboration with customers developing next‑generation cleaning products.

“Latin America is a dynamic growth market for bioscience‑enabled solutions,” said Deia Vilela, vice president of Latin America for IFF H&B. “What’s most exciting is how this momentum is being shaped through deeper partnerships with customers and teams across the region, creating a strong foundation for sustained innovation and shared growth in the years ahead.”

Building on more than four decades of industrial biotechnology leadership, IFF’s investment reinforces its long‑term commitment to the region and positions its Health & Biosciences business to capture future growth across food, home and personal care, animal nutrition and bio‑industrial markets.
