Analyst: if Microsoft succeeds in acquiring Activision Blizzard, it will push the number of Xbox Game Pass subscribers to 100 million

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Wu Yanzu in South China for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com, August 15 (Xinhua)-- Game industry analyst Michael Pachter recently commented on the outstanding deal between Microsoft Xbox and Activision Blizzard. It is estimated that the Windows and Xbox maker will buy Activision Blizzard for $69 billion. Although the amount of money is eye-popping, Pachter thinks it's worth it. Activision Blizzard's games will boost Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass subscribers to 100 million users if regulators give the green light to approve the acquisition, it said.

Microsoft reported in January that Xbox Game Pass had more than 25 million users.

Microsoft went on a buying spree, buying six independent studios, the biggest of which was obsidian. Then they bought Bethesda, a large studio, and now they will buy Activision Blizzard. When the deal is completed, Microsoft will become the fourth largest game publisher in the United States. So Xbox will become very big and will be able to really support the surge in Xbox Game Pass subscriptions.

FTC has no reason to stop the deal. But the challenge here is that if Microsoft completes its acquisition of Activision Blizzard, they will remove games from Sony's Playstation platform. However, Microsoft has reiterated on its blog and Twitter that it will not do so. "

In July, Microsoft said that the Federal Trade Commission (Federal Trade Commission) might approve Microsoft Xbox's acquisition of Activision Blizzard (Activision Blizzard) in August.

The deal between Microsoft and Activision Blizzard could be completed as early as August, and a number of IP, including call of Duty, World of Warcraft, Diablo, Watchman and Wolf, will be part of Microsoft Xbox.

In January, Microsoft announced that it would buy Activision Blizzard, a developer of games and interactive entertainment content, for $95 a share, for a total price of $68.7 billion, and is expected to close in fiscal year 2023. This will be the most expensive acquisition ever made by Microsoft.
