, things have gone strangely quiet concerning their acquisition of Activision Blizzard. But today the UK Competition and Markets Authority has announced it’s blocking the original version of the deal, and yet for Microsoft that’s actually good news.
That company is none other than Ubisoft, who will add Xbox games to their Ubisoft+ service once the deal is confirmed and for the next 15 years. Which means the likes of Call Of Duty and Diablo will only be available to stream in the UK via Ubisoft.
