Microsoft continues betting on the gamer
Following a new wave of announcements, Microsoft President Brad Smith confirmed that the company has reached an agreement with Nintendo to bring Xbox games to the Japanese company’s consoles for the next 10 years.
According to said announcement, this alliance is part of the technology company’s commitment to bring Xbox and Activision games, such as Call of Duty, to “more players on more platforms.”
According to the brand’s estimates, the alliance not only opens the door to these games, but to all those created at Xbox Game Studios where there are sagas of great tradition such as Halo, Forza, Gears of War, Doom, Fallout, Age of Empires and more, that they would have the opportunity to be in the Nintendo ecosystem for at least the next 10 years.
Let’s remember that a year ago Xbox announced that its parent company was going to acquire Activision and all the company’s studios. Although it already meets a long date, the purchase has stalled because the authorities of various countries and regions, such as the European Union, have seen this agreement as a threat to players.
Well, all this because of a scenario where the president of Microsoft tries to convince the antitrust regulators of the European Union (EU) in a closed-door hearing that the offer of 69 billion dollars from the US software giant for the manufacturer of Call of Duty, Activision Blizzard, will drive the competition.
With this, there are many movements that have been registered in the video game industry in recent years, where launches and unions between brands are the most relevant.
