Xbox and Activision Blizzard celebrate their alliance with a trailer that is basically video game history

It’s finally over: Activision Blizzard is now part of the Xbox division, and all of its library of titles go under Microsoft’s control. And there’s a trailer to celebrate!

It’s now official: Xbox welcomes Activision, Blizzard and King to it’s “family”. Microsoft has obtained the approval of the main regulators almost two years since the beginning of the acquisition process. The company did not hesitate for a single second to celebrate an event that has become part of the modern history of the industry.

Phil Spencer, head of the Xbox, reviewed in a press release some of the milestones of Activision Blizzard throughout its history: “I’ve long admired the work of Activision, Blizzard, and King, and the impact they’ve had on gaming, entertainment, and pop culture. Whether it was late nights spent playing the Diablo IV campaign with friends from start to finish, gathering the entire family in the rec room for our weekly Guitar Hero night, or going on an epic streak in Candy Crush, some of my most memorable gaming moments came from experiences their studios have created. It is incredible to welcome such legendary teams to Xbox.”

During communication, Spencer points out that from this moment they will begin to activate the steps that the regulators demanded of them. For example, offering third-party companies the ability to stream Activision Blizzard games through the cloud. Game Pass “and other platforms” are also noted to carry the conglomerate’s games. We will know more in the coming months. “For the millions of fans who love Activision, Blizzard, and King games, we want you to know that today is a good day to play. You are the heart and soul of these franchises, and we are honored to have you as part of our community. Whether you play on Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo, PC or mobile, you are welcome here "
