Commenting on the partnership, Chris Hewish, Chief Strategy Officer of Xsolla, stated, “We believe this collaboration is a pivotal step in developing the gaming industry in Uzbekistan. The Game Development Academy will serve as a cornerstone for cultivating the next generation of developers and innovators, and we look forward to seeing how this initiative will contribute to the region’s growth.”

With Xsolla's expertise and our commitment to nurturing talent, we are confident this partnership will unlock new opportunities for local and global gaming communities."
