Blacknut’s new web browser experience unleashes the power of Cloud Gaming with 500+ PC & Console games just a click away.
Today, Blacknut is set to disrupt the cloud gaming industry yet again with the release of its new Web App experience. Blacknut reinforces its vision of empowering the casual gamer by removing the need to install software and brings its extensive catalog of 500+ premium gaming titles to a browser-native experience for Safari and Chrome.
This new feature exemplifies the pioneering mindset that molded Blacknut into a cloud gaming leader and closer to its founding vision to bring premium games on every connected device, everywhere.
Last year, Blacknut was already among the first to bring unrestricted on demand gaming to iOS through a Progressive Web Application (PWA), making iPhone and iPad fully compatible with the service’s already running on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android mobile & TV, or Fire TV apps. The new Web App takes cross-device play a step further.
Blacknut’s 70+ publishers can now reach an even wider audience, and casual players can get their hands on the best games that the industry has to offer in a subscription service directly through a browser.
Blacknut’s service is, by design, compatible across as many internet-connected devices as possible, to reach the target customer: the general public whose household holds on average 2.5 connected devices. With this new feature, Blacknut’s extensive game catalog now deploys on any screen which supports Chrome or Safari.
“We’re thrilled to once-more be pioneering the future of cloud gaming with our Web App, a feature much requested by our community! With Blacknut’s massive game catalog now available through the world’s most ubiquitous browsers, we can estimate our cloud gaming service to reach 10 billion tablets, PCs, smartphones and more across the planet by 2023(1).” –– Olivier Avaro CEO, Blacknut
“Our technology already allows any Windows games to be integrated in Blacknut with no additional efforts from developers. This new feature will create an even easier opportunity for our Publishers to extend the reach of their games to new audiences, new devices, and new territories worldwide at no cost.” said Nabil Laredj, VP Business and Licensing at Blacknut.
Since going live in 2018, Blacknut has risen as the leading independent actor in cloud gaming solutions for the general public, with a unique B2B2C distribution model. Over the course of these fours years Blacknut’s Cloud Gaming service experienced exponential growth with the help of major partnerships including Telecom Italia, AIS in Thailand, Hutchison Drei in Austria, POST Telecom in Luxembourg, Telecall in Brazil, or the latest launch for Celcom in Malaysia, and M1 in Singapore. For this vision and accomplishments Blacknut was recently awarded a Red Herring Top 100 Winner, Europe award in December 2021.

XSOLLA STRENGTHENS COMMITMENT TO ATLANTIC CANADA’S GROWING GAME INDUSTRY WITH EXPANDED EVENT PRESENCE
Global Video Game Commerce Company To Support Industry Growth Through Panels, Workshops, And Community Engagement Across Atlantic Canada
Xsolla, a leading global video game commerce company, today announced its participation in two major gaming industry events taking place across Atlantic Canada from June 3-5, 2026, reinforcing the company’s commitment to supporting regional game development ecosystems and fostering industry collaboration.
Xsolla will participate in both Game Invest East and XP Game Connect Atlantic, joining developers, publishers, investors, and industry leaders for discussions centered on the future of game development, investment, and innovation in the local area.
At Game Invest East, held in partnership with Scaffold, Xsolla will contribute to conversations around funding, growth opportunities, and the evolving business landscape for game studios.
Featured on the panel titled “If You Can Make It Here,” Xsolla’s Manny Hachey, Senior Director of Developer Success, joins Kate Edwards, CEO and Principal Consultant of Geogrify, and Amir Satvat, Business Development Director at Tencent Games, founder of Always Supporting the Games Community (ASGC), and a 2026 GamesBeat Visionary Award honoree, to explore how new regions and new entrants can survive and thrive in disruptive times.
Hachey, a native of Atlantic Canada, was personally requested by Scaffold to represent Xsolla at the event — a homecoming that adds a personal dimension to the panel’s central thesis. Having built her career and made her mark in Germany’s games industry, she returns with a firsthand perspective on what it takes to leave, build something meaningful abroad, and come back with proof of concept.
Xsolla will continue its Atlantic Canada engagement at XP Game Connect Atlantic in Halifax on June 5. John Nguyen, Regional Vice President, Canada at Xsolla, and Ted DiNola, Developer Evangelist at Xsolla, will host a workshop titled ‘Full Picture to Fast Lane: Xsolla Ecosystem Overview & Live SDK 3 Integration’, providing practical insights and actionable strategies for developers navigating today’s rapidly evolving gaming market.
Nguyen will also host a panel titled, ‘What Does the Future of Game Development Look Like in Atlantic Canada?’ where he will be joined by industry experts, including Ryan Filsinger from Iron Fox; Shawn Woods, CEO at Alpha Dog and VP of Interactive Society of Nova Scotia; George Greer, Founder of Besszong; and Jade Yhap, President of Interactive NB. The panel will explore the region’s growing role in the global games industry and the opportunities ahead for studios, talent, and ecosystem partners.

R. Franco Digital has launched Crash Raiders, a new crash-style game that uses a grid format instead of traditional reels and paylines.
In Crash Raiders, players move across a grid to uncover prizes while avoiding traps that end the run. Each successful step increases the prize pot, and players can choose to cash out at any point or continue for a higher return.
The game includes four modes. Normal Mode lets players customise grid size, prizes and traps. Turbo Mode uses pre-selected routes for faster play, while Mystery and Mystery Turbo Modes apply full randomness to routes and outcomes.
Crash Raiders also adds an Extra Life mechanic that allows a player to revive once per game after hitting a trap, keeping accumulated winnings in play.
Javier Sacristán Franco, International Business Director at R. Franco Digital, said: “With Crash Raiders, we set out to create a highly engaging hybrid experience that blends strategy with high volatility gameplay. By giving players control over risk and path selection, we deliver a dynamic format that captures the excitement of every decision.”
