Microsoft Purchase Call Of Duty Maker Activision Blizzard for $69 Billion

Oct 14 2023

Tech giant Microsoft has just secured its purchase of video game-maker Activision Blizzard, the company responsible for Call of Duty and other titles, for the whopping amount of $69 billion.

Following approval from Britain’s competition watchdog, Microsoft got the green light to close one of the most expensive acquisitions in tech history, with many fearing potential repercussions this could have on the video game industry.

In addition to the Call of Duty franchise, Activision Blizzard is also responsible for Diablo and Overwatch, and is slated to boost Microsoft’s Xbox console, which currently trails PlayStation and Nintendo in sales at third place.

This deal will also mean that Microsoft will own Activision’s mobile game branch, most notable for titles such as Candy Crush.

“Whether you play on Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo, PC or mobile, you are welcome here – and will remain welcome, even if Xbox isn’t where you play your favorite franchise,” said Phil Spencer, CEO of Microsoft’s Xbox.
