Microsoft Officially Acquires Activision Blizzard

Microsoft has finally completed its $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Following many months of contention between rival gaming companies and regulators, Microsoft has officially brought Activision Blizzard under its umbrella, the tech giant’s largest acquisition to date. While it remains to be seen what the roadmap will look like, the acquisition means Microsoft now owns some of the biggest franchises in gaming such as Call of Duty, Overwatch, and Candy Crush Saga.
