There are countless gaming chairs from a variety of brands on the market, and Porsche is set to get its own extremely expensive $2,499.00 gaming chair in the near future. As some car companies like Mercedes, BMW, and Tesla are getting into microtransactions with their own unique add-on packages, Porsche may be looking to appeal to gamers by bringing the comfort of their cars to a PC or living room setup.
Porsche has unveiled the RECARO × Porsche gaming chair which is a limited edition unit. Because there are so many gaming chairs on the market already, some fans may already own a DXRacer, GTRacing, Secretlab, or Corsair, but Porsche enthusiasts that are looking for something with lumbar support may find it with this new reveal. Fans of racing games like Forza Horizon 5, Need for Speed Unbound and Gran Turismo 7 may opt to get the Porsche gaming chair to optimize their experience racing in cars from the same brand.
RECARO and Porsche revealed the Porsche 911 Sport on January 14 during a 24-hour virtual Le Mans, France race which is a track that often features extremely powerful Formula 1 vehicles. The RECARO × Porsche gaming chair is inspired by seats from cars like these, and as a result, it boasts several hours of comfort which may leave alternative choices in the dust. The new RECARO x Porsche chair costs $2,499.00, and it has a gray and black design with red features that share similarities with other top-tier brands, and a seemingly higher headrest which could make it an optimal seat for taller gamers.
Beyond just ordering the RECARO x Porsche chair through the online shop like any other competitive chair, Porsche fans can go into a Design Store or authorized Porsche dealership to buy it in style. Other impressive Porsche products that gamers may get their hands on beyond the luxury cars themselves include the Porsche Design AOC Agon Pro PD27S monitor, Porsche x Garmin Epix 2 smartwatch, and now this gaming chair which shows that the brand is taking its expansion into the medium fairly seriously. Given that the fresh gaming chair is meant to compliment the AOC Agon Pro PD27S monitor, more Porsche products like it may continue to release down the line.
RECARO is known for making high-quality gaming chairs that boast relaxed neck support like the RECARO Rae and Exo which come in a variety of colors. Because of its track record in ergonomics and promoting back health, Porsche's collaboration with RECARO may result in an ideal chair for car enthusiasts that are also gamers.
