With the increasingly fragmented ecosystem of third-party publishing and sales channels, game developers seek new and better ways to connect with players. Launchers make this possible by delivering complete customer data ownership, supporting cross-platform logins, allowing for integrated payments and purchases, and much more.
An important component of any launcher is a CDN — content delivery network — a group of geographically distributed and interconnected servers. They provide cached internet content from a network location closest to a user to speed up delivery and facilitate updates/downloads delivery to numerous servers spread out around the globe — a process that is specifically important to game developers.
Today, a joint partnership between Gcore and Xsolla makes it possible for game developers and publishers worldwide to deliver game content seamlessly via Xsolla Launcher powered by Gcore CDN.
