Turtle Beach retires Roccat brand but peripherals will live on

Roccat has been around for years and we reviewed many of their PC gaming peripherals over that time. The company was acquired by another peripheral maker, Turtle Beach, back in 2019. Now, Roccat is retired and folded into the Turtle Beach brand moving forward, marking an end to Roccat peripherals. 

Roccat had great success with fantastic gaming mice like the Tyon and Kone. The company was also one of the first to dive into more customisable peripherals, with some products being modifiable with easily 3D-printable parts.

Turtle Beach acquired Roccat for just under $20 million roughly five years ago. The brand hasn't made as many headlines since then and now we know why. Roccat no longer exists, with Turtle Beach replacing the brand entirely with a new set of PC peripherals like the Turtle Beach Vulcan II Max or the Turtle Beach Kone. Additionally, Roccat's social media accounts have been rebranded to Turtle Beach accounts.

Much of Roccat's DNA will still carry forward into future Turtle Beach PC peripherals, as products like the Turtle Beach Kone are simply rebranded versions of Roccat's products, so we should see some product lines continuing.
