Set up game distribution
To cover various scenarios of users accessing the games, you can set up two game distribution options:
- Embed the cloud game into your storefront created with Xsolla site builder. It will allow users to launch your cloud game within the iframe on the website.
- Add the cloud game to the Xsolla game platform, such as Long Tale Games.
User flow
- On your website, the user clicks the button to play your cloud game, e.g., Play in cloud.
- If the user has already signed in, they are automatically redirected to the streaming session in the iframe. Non-signed users are prompted to log in to start their session.
- When the user runs out of the orbs to play, the streaming session pauses, and the user sees a modal window to top up their balance. Once the payment is completed, the user can resume their session.

How to set it up
Note
To add an ability to launch your cloud game on the website, the game page must be created with the Single game template. If you use another one, create a new page.
- In your project in Publisher Account, go to the Storefronts > Websites section.
- On the pane of the necessary website, click Open Site Builder.
- If your website includes multiple pages, select the one you need:
- Click the current page title at the top of the builder.
- Select the necessary page from the drop-down list.
- Configure the button to open your cloud game:
- In the side menu, go to the Lead block section.
- Go to the button settings.
- From the Action drop-down list, select Launch game in cloud.
- From the Cloud Gaming project drop-down list, select the necessary game.
- To update the button text, click it in the builder and enter a new copy.

- Configure user authentication:
- In the side menu, go to the Login settings section.
- Click the Metaframe block.
- Check the Configure for Cloud Gaming box.

Notice
If you have already configured another Login option for your website, you need to create a dedicated website for launching a cloud game using the Single game page template.
- To apply changes, publish the website:
- In the upper-right corner of the builder, click Publish.
- Check the boxes next to the pages you want to publish.
- Confirm that you have checked all the settings.
- Click Publish.
Note
If the publication is not available, make sure all the conditions are met:
- There are no empty sections in the builder (marked with a red indicator).
- The licensing agreement with Xsolla has been signed.
- The main page is published or selected for publication. You can’t publish child pages before the main one.
User flow
- The user finds the game on the Xsolla game platform, such as Long Tale Games, and clicks the button to play.

- If the user has already signed in, they are automatically redirected to the streaming session. Non-signed users are prompted to log in via the provided method.
- When the user runs out of the orbs to play, the streaming session pauses, and the user sees a modal window to top up their balance. Once the payment is completed, the user can resume their session.
