Market Position and Industry Context
Motorsport Games operates in a specialized segment of officially licensed racing titles alongside firms such as Codemasters (EA Sports), iRacing, and Ubisoft. Key partnerships include licensing agreements with the Automobile Club de l’Ouest for Le Mans and the FIA for endurance and rally championships.
In October 2023, the NASCAR license was transferred to iRacing, and partnerships for the British Touring Car Championship and IndyCar titles were terminated. These changes have resulted in a reduced portfolio of top-tier licenses but refocused efforts on endurance and simulation platforms.
