The decision to purchase Microsoft Activision Blizzard has received approval from the British regulator

The Competition and Markets Authority of the United Kingdom (CMA) has officially confirmed its approval of the deal between Microsoft and Activision Blizzard.

According to the CMA's decision, the rights to stream Activision Blizzard games will be transferred to Ubisoft for the next 15 years. Microsoft's President, Brad Smith, expressed gratitude to the regulator for its decision and emphasized that the completion of this deal will benefit both gamers and the industry worldwide.

It is essential to note that Microsoft will not acquire the rights to cloud games owned by Activision Blizzard. The distribution of these games will remain under Ubisoft's control, making this business move even more unique.

The CMA's decision, effectively being the final regulatory authority to grant approval for the deal, paves the way for Microsoft and Activision Blizzard to officially conclude the deal and share their future plans
