Motorsport Games is a small PC video game developer and publisher focused on officially licensed motorsport racing simulations. Its primary product is Le Mans Ultimate (LMU), the official game of the FIA World Endurance Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans — the first dedicated, officially licensed Le Mans game in over 20 years. LMU is built on the rFactor 2 simulation engine, developed by Motorsport Games' in-house studio, Studio 397. The company sells LMU directly to consumers on PC via Steam, and generates revenue through three streams: base game and paid DLC sales, subscriptions to RaceControl (a multiplayer and community platform layered on top of LMU), and software licensing of the rFactor 2 engine to third parties such as F1 Arcade. DLC tied to the real-world WEC calendar — new cars, circuits, and season passes — is a key revenue driver, with major releases around the annual 24 Hours of Le Mans race generating elevated sales. RaceControl, launched in late 2024, adds a recurring SaaS-like revenue stream on top of transactional game sales. Motorsport Games holds an exclusive license from ACO (the organizer of Le Mans), paying an annual fee for the right to publish WEC and Le Mans games. Growth initiatives include console ports for PlayStation and Xbox targeting 2026-2027, a relaunch of the Le Mans Virtual esports series, and ongoing DLC expansion. The company operates with 44 total employees, with the majority focused on game development.
