LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 29, 2024 / FaZe Clan, one of the most prominent and influential gaming organizations in the world that was recently acquired by next generation media company GameSquare Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:GAME), ("GameSquare", or the "Company"), announces the global expansion of its co-branded product line with the premier gaming accessory company SteelSeries.
"We're unbelievably excited that fans outside of the US can finally pick up the FaZe SteelSeries gear in stores all around the globe," says Erik Anderson, Head of Esports at FaZeClan. "Given the success of our teams and the fact that SteelSeries makes the best pro gear in the marketplace, it's no shock that the products have been flying off the shelves. I can't wait to see the FaZe SteelSeries gear on more setups around the globe as fans carve out their own path to pro."
"FaZe Clan's strategic partnerships and co-branded product initiatives have consistently demonstrated their ability to drive substantial revenue and capture the attention of global audiences," comments Justin Kenna, CEO of GameSquare. "With over $75 million in gross co-branded product revenue achieved from 2022 to 2023 alone, FaZe Clan's track record speaks volumes about their influence and market penetration. Leveraging FaZe Clan's expertise in retail strategies and our robust resources within the GameSquare ecosystem, we are positioned for continued success."
Following a successful US-exclusive launch in collaboration with Best Buy in November 2023, FaZe Clan is excited to bring its high-performance gaming peripherals to enthusiasts worldwide, starting today. Since the debut of the co-branded products, which were exclusively available at Best Buy locations in the United States, the partnership between FaZe Clan and SteelSeries has garnered significant attention and remarkable sales figures. Now, with the upcoming global release, gamers in markets such as China, India, and beyond will have access to these cutting-edge peripherals, previously available only to US consumers.
In support of the global launch, FaZe Clan plans to conduct another round of seeding to influencers and talents, amplifying the partnership with engaging social media content across FaZe Clan and SteelSeries channels. The expansion of the product line will offer enhanced accessibility to gamers worldwide, aligning with FaZe Clan's mission to inspire and empower gaming communities globally.
