Corsair, a leading manufacturer of PC gaming hardware and peripherals, has just announced a multi-year partnership with Activision to become the official provider of Call of Duty-themed PC gaming hardware and peripherals. The deal kicks off with the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 this November.
This partnership comes at a perfect time, with the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 just around the corner. Corsair will be taking over from SteelSeries, which last year produced a small selection of Modern Warfare 3 gear, including an Arctis Nova Booster Pack, QcK mousepad, and an artisan keycap.
While no specific products have been confirmed yet, this deal signifies that Corsair and its sub-brands, including Scuf, Drop, OriginPC, and Elgato, will be creating Call of Duty-branded gear for gamers. This could include special PC builds and peripherals, all sporting the iconic Call of Duty branding.
Corsair has already been a prominent presence in the Call of Duty world, sponsoring the recent Call of Duty: Next event, where its gear was used throughout the event. Similar setups have also been seen at a special Call of Duty Alabama Football event, featuring Origin PCs and Corsair headsets and mics. This hints at a pre-existing partnership between the two companies, making this new deal a natural progression.
The previous SteelSeries collaboration, while offering some visually appealing items, missed the mark for many fans, especially with the keycap costing a hefty $89.99. Corsair’s involvement suggests a more comprehensive approach, offering a wider range of Call of Duty-branded products at more accessible price points.
With this deal, we can expect to see Call of Duty-branded mice, headsets, controllers, and more, likely coinciding with the launch of Black Ops 6. Fans can anticipate a range of options, from high-end peripherals to budget-friendly accessories, all bearing the iconic Call of Duty logo.
This partnership promises to be a win-win for both companies. Corsair will gain access to a massive and passionate fanbase, while Activision will benefit from high-quality, branded gear that complements the Call of Duty experience. This deal is sure to excite fans and further solidify Corsair’s position as a leading force in the PC gaming hardware market.
