The company has been riding a surge in demand for gaming headsets, due in part to the popularity of Fortnite, the free-to-play shooting game that has drawn more than 250 million users around the world.

Headphone maker Turtle Beach Corp nearly doubled sales last year by capitalising on the popularity of Fortnite. Now it’s picking up more of the accessories that have soared with the success of the hit videogame.  

Turtle Beach completed its acquisition of German keyboard and mouse manufacturer Roccat on June 3, giving the company a larger presence in the market for videogame peripherals. The San Diego-based company paid US$15.6mil (RM65.05mil), plus as much as US$3.3mil (RM13.76mil) more based on future earnings.
