Xbox has finally completed its historic acquisition of Activision Blizzard and with it gains control of some of the biggest franchises in video game history.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Not mincing words, Xbox now owns the best-selling video game each year in Call of Duty. This franchise was at the centre of conversations (and arguments) during the acquisition process, as Xbox fought desperately to see the deal through.<\/p>\n

Unlike Bethesda games such as Starfield, Call of Duty won’t become exclusive to Xbox. Microsoft essentially had to sign 10-year deals with PlayStation<\/a>, Nintendo, and several streaming services<\/a> to complete the deal.<\/p>\n

Activision Blizzard brings a lot more than Call of Duty, of course, with franchises such as Overwatch, World of Warcraft, Candy Crush Saga, Diablo, Hearthstone, Guitar Hero, Spyro and more also joining Xbox.<\/p>\n
