Microsoft's acquisition of Blizzard was strongly supported, and Nvidia changed its attitude and signed a ten-year game agreement.

Beijing, February 22 (Xinhua) Microsoft announced on Tuesday that it has reached a 10-year game agreement with Nvidia. If Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard is approved, the company will introduce all Activision Blizzard games to the Nvidia game platform. Before that, Nvidia had opposed Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard.

Microsoft President Brad Smith disclosed the agreement with Nvidia after meeting with EU officials in Brussels on Tuesday. The partnership "addresses Nvidia's concerns about the merger" and "therefore fully supports regulatory approval of the acquisition," the two companies said in a joint statement.

Now, Nvidia is on Microsoft's side. In January this year, there were media reports that Nvidia and Google had expressed their concerns about Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Microsoft President Smith said at a news conference that Microsoft's Xbox games will be available on Nvidia's GeForce Now cloud gaming service, effective immediately. He also said that if the Activision Blizzard deal is completed, it will bring all Activision Blizzard games to GeForce Now.

Microsoft is trying to save the troubled deal, which faces regulatory hurdles at home and abroad. While the deal is being reviewed in Europe, FTC has filed a lawsuit seeking to block the deal. Microsoft hopes to prove that even with its $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard, the gaming industry is still competitive.
