Corsair acquires Visuals by Impulse to enhance content creator offerings

Ever since acquiring Elgato back in 2018, Corsair has been expanding on its offerings for aspiring and professional content creators across Twitch, YouTube and other platforms. The latest acquisition by Corsair will help in this area, with Visuals by Impulse joining the Elgato family.

Corsair announced today that it is acquiring Visuals by Impulse (VBI), which will join Corsair under the existing Elgato brand. We don't know how much money was exchanged here, but VBI has previously partnered with over 200,000 users.

For those who don't know, VBI is a resource for streaming graphics, overlays, plugins, tools, animations and more. Over 200,000 users have utilised VBI's services in the last five years for live-streaming.

Speaking about the acquisition, Julian Fest, SVP and GM of Elgato said: “With the addition of Visuals by Impulse to the Elgato family, we’re excited to extend our core mission of empowering content creators. Design is a crucial element shaping a creator’s identity, and VBI has been at the forefront of making beautiful and interactive design accessible to anyone. Together with the talented team at VBI, we plan to push the boundaries of what design can mean for creators.”

KitGuru Says: Corsair has acquired quite a few companies in the last three years. It will be interesting to see what becomes of VBI under Elgato moving forward.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
