Our take
Coined an eSports ecosystem, Motorsport Games is an industry-leading racing game developer. With a team in Florida, Moscow and London, Motorsport Games boasts a global presence and customer base.
Motorgames took the NASCAR Heat game franchise and made it one of the highest-played games in the world, which became the catalyst for the company’s other eSport initiatives’ exponential growth. Today, Motorsports develops and publishes popular games based on NASCAR, Le Mans, and British Touring Car properties.
In 2022, the company strengthened its business and capital structure in order to ensure future growth, including an organizational restructuring program that hopes to cut costs by $4 million by the end of 2023. This was intended to build stronger global business operations and enhance its operating margins. With post-IPO equity of nearly $4 million achieved in 2023, Motorsport Games plans to use the proceeds to fund more games.
