Saudi Arabia’s controversial Public Investment Fund (PIF) now owns part of Embracer – the umbrella company which owns Gearbox, Saber Interactive, THQ Nordic and Deep Silver – making the publisher the latest in a long line of video game investments from the initiative chaired by Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
This investment has been made via PIF’s subsidiary, the Savvy Gaming Group (SGG). Following this move, SGG will hold approximately 8.1 percent of the shares and 5.4 percent of the votes in the company.
Embracer now joins the likes of EA, Take Two Interactive, Capcom and Activision Blizzard, which the PIF also has stakes in.
