Acquisition under the previously announced agreement is now completed, with Studio 397 continuing its work and updates on rFactor 2 under the Motorsport Games banner<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

MIAMI, FL \u2014<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>May 5, 2021<\/span>\u00a0\u2014<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/a>Motorsport Games Inc<\/span><\/a>. (NASDAQ: MSGM) (\u201cMotorsport Games\u201d), a leading racing game developer, publisher and esports ecosystem pr<\/span>ovider of official motorsport racing series throughout the world, today announced that it closed at the end of April 2021 the previously announced acquisition of Studio 397, the company behind the industry leading racing simulation platform, rFactor 2. Stu<\/span>dio 397 will maintain its brand and name while continuing to develop the rFactor 2 platform, as well as working on other Motorsport Games titles.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This acquisition cements the long-term relationship formed between Motorsport Games and Studio 397. For over\u00a0<\/span>a year, the Netherlands-based developer has been providing its expertise in vehicle physics, tire\u00a0<\/span>modeling<\/span>\u00a0and AI for Motorsport Games\u2019 upcoming reboot of the NASCAR video game franchise, due for release later in 2021. Studio 397 will also be central to th<\/span>e development of Motorsport Games\u2019 forthcoming titles based upon licenses including the British Touring Car Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe acquisition of Studio 397 is a significant advancement for us that we expect will help to deliver fu<\/span>rther value in our products,\u201d said\u00a0<\/span>Dmitry Kozko, Chief Executive Officer of Motorsport Games<\/span><\/b>. \u201cWe have boosted and diversified our product portfolio with the addition of the market leading rFactor 2 simulation platform, while at the same time added substant<\/span>ial video game development expertise and capabilities to our growing team.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cStudio 397 shares our same passions for virtual racing and creating the best possible driving experiences for our players,\u201d said\u00a0<\/span>Stephen Hood, President of Motorsport Games<\/span><\/b>. \u201cWe originally chose to work with them on our new NASCAR game franchise to bring top class elements to the titles, as rFactor 2 has the best vehicle physics, AI and tire model available today. Therefore, when the opportunity arose to bring them into the\u00a0<\/span>Motorsport Games family, it made perfect sense to all parties.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to become a part of the Motorsport Games family,\u201d said\u00a0<\/span>Marcel Offermans, Director of Studio for Studio 397<\/span><\/b>. \u201cWe remain committed to growing the rFactor 2 platform, as well a<\/span>s providing the base for the simulation components in all future Motorsport Games titles.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to game development, the acquisition of Studio 397 is expected to also positively impact Motorsport Games\u2019 esports offerings. The incredibly successful\u00a0<\/span>24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual race and the Formula E Race at Home Challenge \u2013 both of which were operated by Motorsport Games \u2013 each raced using rFactor 2, which will now be the platform of choice for future esports events and projects.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
