Back in May, Corsair announced plans to acquire Racing Sim company, Fanatec. Since then, the deal has been finalised, with Corsair now officially owning the Fanatec Sim Racing product line. Those who managed and operated the Fanatec line under its old parent company, Endor AG, will also now become Corsair employees and they'll get to keep their current HQ.
Fanatec is widely celebrated for bringing the thrilling world of Sim Racing into many homes and racing centres. Its dedicated Sim Racing products include force-feedback steering wheels, pedals, shifters, and complete cockpits for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC-based racing simulators.
This move marks Corsair's step into the racing sim market. Over the past decade, Corsair has gone on a massive growth spree, now holding successful positions in PC components, peripherals, monitors, chairs, gaming controllers, content creator hardware & accessories, pre-built PCs and now, Racing Simulators.
Corsair plans to make significant investments in the Fanatec brand, its products, and increasing worldwide availability.

KitGuru Says: Fanatec now falls under the Corsair umbrella. It will be interesting to see the first new products. They no doubt have someone figuring out iCUE integration as we speak.
