Xsolla Releases The Xsolla Report: Mobile D2C Edition28.9.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press release
New Data From More Than 800 Mobile Web Shops Finds Direct-to-Consumer Has Become a Standard Operating Discipline, With Top Performers Capturing More Than Half of a Title's Revenue Regardless of Studio Size Xsolla, a global commerce company, today released The Xsolla Report: Mobile D2C Edition, a new study examining how direct-to-consumer commerce is performing across mobile games. Drawing on data from more than 800 live Xsolla Web Shops alongside public market and regulatory data, the report shows that D2C has moved past the question of whether it works and into a new phase: studios seeing the strongest results are the ones treating their Web Shop as an operating discipline rather than a one-time build. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260928312597/en/ Graphic: Xsolla Three themes run through the report.

ZincFive Expands Nickel-Zinc Technology into In-Rack Backup and AI Dynamic Power Solutions28.9.2026 14:05:00 CEST | Press release
Applying proven high-rate nickel-zinc technology to in-rack backup and AI-driven transient power applications ZincFive®, the leader in nickel-zinc (NiZn) battery-based solutions for immediate power applications, today announced its expansion into in-rack energy storage with the development of Battery Backup Unit (BBU) and AI Dynamic Power Module (DPM) solutions designed to address the evolving energy storage requirements of AI data centers. As AI drives higher rack power densities and increasingly dynamic workloads, data center power architectures are evolving to manage both traditional backup requirements and rapid, repeated changes in power demand. These transient loads can place significant stress on electrical infrastructure, creating a growing need for power solutions closer to the rack that can respond quickly, safely, and reliably. Today’s rack-level technologies often require tradeoffs between energy capacity and dynamic power response. Traditional BBUs are primarily designed t
