When Rennsport exited early access last year, for PC, it was published by its owners and creators, Competition Company. But, it struck a deal with Nacon to publish the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions.
However, Traxion has learnt that as of 20th February 2026, the agreement between the two parties was “mutually terminated” according to the Rennsport team.
“We extend our sincere thanks to the Nacon team for their hard work and collaboration over the past year,” a spokesperson said in a brief statement.
Presumably, a lot of work has been, and will need to be done, by the Rennsport team to keep the game on sale (which will be the case) during the change of publisher. It will then fully control its own destiny from, in its own words, from the “end of March”.
“We will continue reviewing our timeline to ensure a smooth transition. We’ll share any updates as soon as we can.”
It’s not clear if Rennsport is owed money at this stage by Nacon, which earlier today (25th February 2026) was placed into insolvency.
This financial mess follows the failure to pay part of a €43 million debt by its parent company Bigben Interactive, on 17th February, and the refusal by lending banks to supply necessary funds. It is also “temporarily suspended” trading on the Paris stock exchange.
It stated today that its “available assets do not allow it to meet its due liabilities”, and that it was assessing all possible solutions to ensure the sustainability of the Company’s [Nacon] activity under the best possible conditions, protect employees, and preserve jobs, while renegotiating with its creditors in a calm and constructive framework.”
Traxion understands that Rennsport’s plans for the year ahead remain unchanged, save for the self-publication on consoles.
