The company said in a press release that the results show good health, and the consumer demand is still “above historic levels.”

Last year, revenues went up as the gaming industry saw a massive interest in battle royale games.

"As was the case in the first half of the year, our results for the third quarter tracked closely to our expectations, with revenue stronger than any other third quarter outside of last year," Juergen Stark, the company’s CEO said. "This confirms that many new gamers remain in the market and are joining the headset replacement cycle.”
