Montreal has long been recognized for its dynamic gaming ecosystem and innovative tech community.

As part of this expansion, Xsolla plans to hire up to 50 regional employees over the next two years, targeting a mix of roles in business development, customer support, and technical services. This investment will strengthen its capacity to deliver cutting-edge solutions and exceptional service.
