There are video games of very different genres, but one of the most popular in the last three decades has been the first person shooter. Xbox has always had a great reference for the genre in Halo, which recently released its latest installment with resounding success. However, the Master Chief is not alone. And it is that Xbox becomes the home of the shooter after the purchase of Activision Blizzard. It is not for less, because with this billionaire acquisition, two licenses of the stature of Call of Duty or Overwatch are incorporated into the catalog of the American company, which will arrive to continue expanding a field in which Microsoft already stood out.
In the absence of knowing all the details that confirm whether these games will be xbox exclusives (everything indicates that at some point they will become so), with Call of Duty Microsoft adds one of the most important licenses of all time. Even if Overwatch 2 has had various problems in its development, the Blizzard game should be another hit. To this we must add everything that Xbox incorporated with the last purchase of Bethesda, a company that owns the rights to franchises such as Doom, Wolfenstein or Quake. Franchises that are now part of Xbox Game Studios.

It should not be forgotten that for a few months the service EA Play is part of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, so another worldwide successful franchise like Battlefield It is also found on Xbox through this channel, although it is not owned by Microsoft. This being the case, fans of the shooter genre will soon have everything they could want and more on a single platform like Xbox, and much of it with exclusive content thanks to now being licenses belonging to Xbox Game Studios.
