Microsoft Acquires Activision Blizzard for $68.7 Billion Making the greatest Gaming acquisition. Microsoft has made the shocking news that it is acquiring Activision Blizzard for an astounding $68.7 billion. This game-changing deal will give Microsoft, and hence the Xbox brand, control of some of the industry’s most profitable games, including the Call of Duty franchise. If authorized, this will be the largest gaming acquisition ever, surpassing Microsoft’s Bethesda acquisition from last year and becoming the greatest gaming acquisition in history.

Activision Publishing, Blizzard Entertainment, Beenox, Demonware, Digital Legends, High Moon Studios, Infinity Ward, King, Major League Gaming, Radical Entertainment, Raven Software, Sledgehammer Games, Toys for Bob, and Treyarch are among the Xbox teams that have been acquired. Following the completion of this purchase, Microsoft will have 30 internal game development studios. There’s no news on whether the games developed by these firms will be exclusive to Xbox platforms or if multiplatform hits like Call of Duty will continue to be so.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says, “We’re investing heavily in world-class content, community, and the cloud to usher in a new era of gaming that puts players and creators first and makes gaming safe, inclusive, and accessible to everyone.”

One of the key objectives for Xbox’s acquisition of Bethesda was to strengthen Xbox Game Pass, and the same is true for Activision’s acquisition of Blizzard. Activision Blizzard games will be available on Xbox Game Pass on day one, according to Microsoft. This implies that future Call of Duty games, as well as titles like Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2, will be available on Game Pass on day one, assuming the agreement goes through before they’re released.

Microsoft’s purchase of Activision Blizzard surpasses the Xbox maker’s previous industry-changing and enormous $7.5 billion acquisition of ZeniMax Media, the parent company of Bethesda Softworks, in 2020. Activision Blizzard’s studios, which include numerous Call of Duty studios, mobile developer King, and the teams behind Diablo, Hearthstone, Overwatch, and many others, have been added.
