Microsoft states that its obligations to provide cloud streaming rights in the European Economic Area remain in place. The agreement with Ubisoft has been structured to ensure that MSFT can fulfill its legal obligations to the European Commission and other existing contractual commitments to cloud game streaming providers. The company believes that these developments are positive for players, developers, the cloud game streaming market and overall growth of the gaming industry while addressing the initial concerns that caused the CMA to block the acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Microsoft has been working to obtain regulatory approval for the transaction and has made binding legal commitments to address concerns. These commitments ensure that Call of Duty and other Activision Blizzard games will be available on rival consoles including Sony SONY and cloud streaming platforms. The transaction is now in a position to move forward in more than 40 countries.
