Xsolla, a global video game commerce company that helps developers launch, grow, and monetize their games, recently announced a landmark content partnership with Nexstar Media Inc. Together, the companies will produce and distribute a co-branded vodcast series focused on the culture, business, and technology of gaming. Episodes will be available across NewsNation, The Hill, and Nexstar’s extensive digital and social media platforms, reaching millions of households and online viewers nationwide.
As the gaming industry continues to dominate global entertainment, players and developers alike are seeking deeper conversations bridging culture, technology, and creativity. The Xsolla + Nexstar vodcast series aims to fill this gap by pairing Nexstar’s expansive media reach with Xsolla’s deep expertise in interactive entertainment. The result is a unique series designed to inform, inspire, and engage both gamers and industry professionals. Key advantages of the Xsolla + Nexstar vodcast partnership include:
• Seasonal Production: Ten full-length episodes produced between 2025 and 2026, beginning with the premiere filmed at Gamescom in Germany on August 2025. Additional episodes will be filmed at NewsNation’s studios in Chicago with opportunities for on-location shoots at major industry events.
• Continuous Distribution: Episodes released across major platforms including NewsNationNow, YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music, ensuring accessibility for both video and audio audiences.
• Comprehensive Promotion: Dedicated promotion across Nexstar’s television properties, local station websites, social accounts, and mobile apps, supported by teaser campaigns, banner ads, and social media takeovers.
• Industry Voices: Each episode will pair dedicated NewsNation host Cheryl Huang with Xsolla executives, partners, and featured game developers, providing a balance of editorial expertise and insider industry knowledge.
“Gaming is more than entertainment, it’s culture, connection, and commerce. This partnership with Nexstar gives us the ability to spotlight those stories at scale, providing audiences with new insights into the gaming world and giving players, creators, and developers all the things they need to enjoy the game,” said Xsolla Chief Marketing & Growth Officer Berkley Egenes. “We’re thrilled to team up with Xsolla to create compelling new programming for our NewsNation viewers. This vodcast will showcase the trends, talent, and technology driving the gaming industry, while opening up new opportunities for brands to connect with one of the most influential and engaged audiences today,” said Nexstar Media Inc. President of National Advertising Sales Dan Lanzano.
