A pioneer in the market, Nexway is a strategic partner known among video game publishers for improving their online sales using the newest models of video game consumption.
With a $9.5 billion PC gaming market in 2008 (source AFJV, October 2009), Nexway Games’ expertise in digital e-commerce spans all genres of online gaming: MMORPGs, free online games (Free to Play), casual games, and gamers’ games.
Gilles Ridel, Nexway’s president and founder, states, “We are proud to position ourselves as the leading European player in the digital distribution of online games, which is becoming one of the largest cultural industries in Europe, giving Nexway Games spectacular growth potential. The sheer size of our game catalog and the strength of our partners form strategic elements in our development model. To guarantee top-notch service quality and continuous innovation, we decided to assemble a department devoted to the gaming world under the Nexway Games brand. This new entity will be led by Francis Ingrand, who has managed to surround himself with the market’s top specialists.”
Nexway has built many partnerships with the market's top publishers, including Ubisoft, Eidos, Atari, Sega, Koch Media, and EA. The company’s recent acquisition of Boonty has allowed Nexway to include over 400 additional casual video game publishers, representing a new catalog containing more than 7,000 items throughout Europe and Asia, and to manage more than a hundred new game channels on international content and e-market portals, counting more than 5 million unique visitors a month.
The merger of Boonty and Nexway video game content in over 10 different languages now represents Europe’s top offering.
