Hitbox, an independent live streaming service has teamed up with Xsolla to provide Hitbox users with an easy way to make payments.
“The phenomenon of video game live streaming is truly global. Our users span the world, and when it came to our payment and billing needs we had to work with an organization that understood just how varied the needs of our users could be,” said Martin Klimscha CEO of hitbox. “Xsolla has a track record of excellence, and we’re elated to work with the space’s leader.”
“We are very excited to begin a long and successful partnership with hitbox as they continue to grow their business globally.” Sam Gaglani, Senior Director of Global Business Development.
As the niche of live streaming gameplay grows, both Hitbox and Xsolla wish to help dedicated gamers turn their gaming hobby into a career; giving broadcasters and their viewers a wider set of options make payments to help support the broadcasters.
Never heard of Hitbox? That’s not surprising – Twitch TV (formerly known as Justin TV) has taken the helm as being the mainstream of live streaming however unlike Twitch, Hitbox provides a delay free experience which means the viewer can interact with the broadcasters instantly rather than wait a minimum of half a minute like they do with Twitch broadcasters.
