Amidst the lingering anticipation surrounding the outcome of the Activision and Microsoft merger, which dominated headlines in 2022 due to its nearly $70 billion valuation, a new development has emerged in August 2023. Ubisoft has made a surprising announcement, unveiling its independent collaboration with Activision Blizzard. This collaboration not only brings delight to Ubisoft+ subscribers but also to aficionados of well-established gaming franchises like Call of Duty.
Ubisoft's Cloud Streaming Pact Brings CoD to Ubisoft+ in a 15-Year Term In a groundbreaking revelation on August 22, 2023, Ubisoft introduced the world to its innovative cloud-streaming partnership with Activision Blizzard.
This milestone pact, spanning a span of 15 years, will usher in esteemed titles such as Call of Duty to the Ubisoft+ platform. Moreover, there is potential for other celebrated games like Overwatch, Diablo, and an array of additional titles to make their appearance.
However, it's important to note that the success of this collaboration hinges on the successful culmination of the proposed merger between Activision Blizzard and Microsoft.
