FIA GT championship,^[2]

essentially the precursor to its first commercial game.

The company has released

Race On, STCC The Game 2, GT Power Expansion, WTCC 2010 and Retro Expansion. Although the company mainly focuses on racing simulators for Windows, Race Pro was developed for the Xbox 360 console, published by Atari and released in February 2009. In May 2009 SimBin released Volvo – The Game as a freeware for Windows. It included six cars, two racetracks and a time trial mode. Cars include the Volvo S60, Volvo S40 and Volvo 850. In 2013, SimBin released RaceRoom Racing Experience

, a new free to play game that connects fans of racing around a game, motorsports portal and online store.

On September 1, 2014, SimBin Studios officially changed their name to Sector3 Studios, as part of a company restructuring.[3] The name was changed primarily because the former was contractually tied to the location, and the team wanted to move to a more populous area. In January 2022, German automotive parts manufacturer KW Automotive had quietly acquired Sector3 Studios and renamed it to KW Studios.^[4]
