The GamesBeat 2024 Global Tour, the latest partnership between the global video game commerce solution provider Xsolla and GamesBeat, is already underway. An opportunity for networking, knowledge sharing, and exploring the latest gaming technology and commerce trends, the tour kicked off last March in Austin, Texas, at the renowned 2024 SXSW festival. The tour has taken Xsolla and GamesBeat from Austin, TX, to Los Angeles, CA, as part of GamesBeat Summit 2024 and to Sao Paulo, Brazil, during Gamescom LATAM.
Next on the list is Tokyo, Japan, on September 26, during the Tokyo Game Show, followed by Seattle, WA, on September 30 and San Francisco, CA, on October 28 as part of GamesBeat Next 2024. More stops will be announced soon.

“The Global 2024 Tour with GamesBeat has brought together some of the industry’s best minds and biggest advocates as we’ve traveled across the Americas,” said Berkley Egenes, Chief Marketing and Growth Officer at Xsolla. “We’ve been pleased to help foster conversations and new connections among a group of accomplished industry professionals with diverse perspectives and voices and look forward to expanding the tour to Japan in September.”
Xsolla’s focus on bringing together a diverse cross-section of the gaming world is an ongoing effort, Egenes added, including their recent sponsorship of the Women in Gaming panel, which boasted record-breaking attendance at GamesBeat Summit 2024. As part of their continued commitment, they’ll host the Diversity in Gaming Lunch at GamesBeat Next on October 28 and 29 in San Francisco. It’s the premier gathering for game developers, publishers, investors, executives, and visionaries in an electric, conversation-provoking mix of industry icons, upstarts, and up-and-comers.
