Build Your Game Ready to Sell: The Sandbox × Xsolla Web shop and in-game purchasing, 1,000+ payment methods, and fraud protection, built in from your first build. As The Sandbox expands what builders can create with its new technology stack, we also want to make it easier for players to discover, purchase, and use content without breaking the flow of their gaming experience. The Sandbox is partnering with Xsolla to power its commerce infrastructure. Xsolla provides the technology behind payments, fulfillment, virtual items, and currencies, creating a foundation we can build on as commerce becomes more deeply integrated across The Sandbox. Getting games ready to sell from the start Xsolla's first integration into The Sandbox supports end-to-end monetization for builders: Web Shop: a direct-to-consumer online store where builders can sell in-game items, in-game currency, and subscriptions outside of standard app stores. Pay Station: a secure payment gateway supporting over 1,000 payment methods and 130+ currencies. Anti-Fraud Systems: machine learning tools that monitor transactions and protect game revenue from fraud. As a merchant of record in more than 200 countries and territories, Xsolla also handles sales tax, VAT, compliance, and payouts, so builders can sell globally without setting up a legal entity or finance team in each market. For builders, it means monetization is built into their game from the moment they start creating, on the same commerce infrastructure trusted by more than 70% of the top 100 highest-grossing games. For players, Xsolla runs the fiat rails: cards, local wallets, bank transfers, and the fraud checks behind them, so they can buy in their own currency without ever touching a crypto wallet. SAND works alongside it natively: with the Studio launch, players will also be able to buy in-game currency packs with SAND. Xsolla opens the door wider for players who have never held a token. It doesn't replace anything on-chain. Bringing purchases directly into games, ready for Studio public launch The next phase of the Xsolla integration brings purchasing flows directly into games, implemented for The Sandbox Studio public launch. The goal is for players to discover something they want inside a game and buy it without ever leaving, making the experience even smoother for players and builders alike. Xsolla provides the commerce infrastructure behind that experience, while The Sandbox focuses on making purchasing and ownership meaningful parts of gameplay.
