With a commitment to being at the forefront of gaming trends and tech, Xsolla’s goal is to continue pushing boundaries and bringing new opportunities together by empowering creators, developers, and gamers across industry spaces, from the cloud to the metaverse. We’re bringing this to life with our latest partnership with MetaGravity, a leader in scalable multiplayer gaming network technology. Together, we’re aiming to build the foundational infrastructure for the 3D internet – a vision that is rapidly becoming a reality thanks to our combined expertise.

Scalability without limits

One of the biggest challenges in creating multiplayer experiences within virtual environments is managing scale. Traditional infrastructure can struggle when it comes to handling thousands of concurrent players, leading to performance issues or frustrating user experiences. MetaGravity’s Quark Multiplayer is designed to address this challenge by offering ultimate scalability. This means that creators can build large-scale, persistent worlds without worrying about the technical limitations that often come with managing multiplayer environments. This scalability is essential for building the 3D internet, where vast, interconnected virtual worlds will require infrastructure that can support thousands, if not millions, of players in real time. The integration of Xsolla Metasites with this technology allows us to fully take advantage of that scalability, ensuring that creators can bring their metaverse visions to life in previously unimaginable ways.

A shared vision for the 3D internet

This partnership is just the beginning of a long-term collaboration aimed at building the infrastructure needed for the 3D internet. At Xsolla, we’ve been vocal about our vision for the future of the internet and how the metaverse will play a central role in shaping it. Our CEO, Shurick Agapitov also wrote a book on the topic, Once Upon Tomorrow: Harnessing the New Opportunities the Metaverse Creates, in which he explores the potential of the metaverse and its far-reaching implications. As part of this vision, we're going to start an open Beta Program and roll out core features. The future of the internet is shifting towards a decentralized, immersive, and highly interactive model. This evolution is essential for the next phase of the 3D internet, where virtual worlds and experiences will be interconnected and persistent. Quark Multiplayer is specifically designed to decentralize computing resources, is central to this transformation. By leveraging this technology, we can create a robust foundation for creators to build expansive metaverse experiences that are persistent, interactive, and capable of supporting large numbers of concurrent users, all while keeping cloud operating costs low and ensuring ease of use for developers. About the partnership The collaboration between Xsolla and MetaGravity represents a major leap in multiplayer gaming experiences. At the heart of this collaboration is the development of a proof-of-concept platform that integrates MetaGravity’s Quark Multiplayer with Xsolla’s Metasites platform. This new platform will be a game-changer, enabling real-time, scalable multiplayer experiences in virtual environments, all while laying the groundwork for a future 3D internet:

• The first phase of this platform will feature a customizable portal environment built in Unreal Engine, seamlessly integrated with a series of Metasites experiences.
• The portal will also include a versatile avatar system and public chat functionality, ensuring a rich, immersive experience for players.
• With the power to support up to 1 million concurrent users (CCUs) in a single-shard game instance, this platform brings an unparalleled level of hyper-scale to Xsolla Metasites.

The integration with the Metabrowser, our upcoming cross-platform and next-gen web gaming and browser app – which includes Xsolla Cloud Gaming, Xsolla Login, Xsolla Wallet, Xsolla Pay Station, and more via the Xsolla Metaframe – will provide robust identity management, further strengthening the platform’s reliability and security. For game creators, this represents a breakthrough in multiplayer capabilities, offering the ability to build more vibrant, expansive, and interactive virtual environments than ever before. As we continue to develop this platform, we will work closely with MetaGravity to enhance its capabilities. Future collaborations will focus on decentralization, persistence, and interoperability—all critical elements for a truly global, interconnected metaverse.
