Prisen for Astro Gaming ser ud til at være 85 millioner dollars, svarende til cirka 550 millioner danske kroner. Planen er at lade Astro navnet fortsætte som hidtil og muligvis endda blive det primære mærke for Logitechs konsoludstyr.
Vice direktøren for Logitechs gaming division, Ujesh Desai har udtalt følgende i forbindelse med udmeldingen om opkøbet:
Astro is the leading player for premium console headsets and is the preferred headset for console esports athletes. It's a perfect complement to Logitech G's focus on PC gaming and we couldn't be more excited; we love the team, the brand and the products. Together, we want to make game play even more fun for gamers everywhere.
I samme meddelelse, udtaler en af medstifterne af Astro, Jordan Reiss følgende:
The whole team at Astro has always held Logitech and Logitech G products in the highest regard, so I’m ecstatic we are joining forces. Astro’s brand strength combined with Logitech G's unrivalled technology and global distribution network is going to bring our products to even more gamers around the world.
Det forventes at aftalen om overtagelsen bliver gennemført til august.
