Every Major Franchise Xbox Now Owns
Microsoft’s $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard is the largest buyout in video game history. Here’s every major franchise and studio Xbox now owns.
Microsoft has been spending a lot of money recently to bolster its first party…
Well well well now it’s Xbox that have more Exclusives.
Whats next EA or Take two jeez
“Xbox has no games”
Destiny….. Microsoft gets that along with Halo. Sheesh.
They forgot my favorite rock and roll racing.
It's amazing what Microsoft has to do to beat out PlayStation. "Buy them all, its the only way to beat'em"
What dose the buy out mean for PlayStation for cod
Ballin hard. Nothing more to say.
playstation will be declining from this point onward😂
What if Microsoft buys take-two, who owns rockstar, and make take two listen to the players of GTA 5 and add new content to the game?
And they didn’t come up with a single character except Chief. 😂 Bought all the rest.
ah yes. microsoft owns 34 developers, not 34 development teams
I need them to buy Square Enix I loved Marvel's GOTG and I would hate to not be able to play any good Marvel games.
Microsoft is the Disney of gaming
It seems like I f*ck up choosing a console every generation
I have both a Series X and PS5 and I find the PS5 to be much better still. Looking forward to Horizon Forbidden West, Forspoken, God of War Ragnarok, Final Fantasy 16 and eventually insomniac’s Spider-Man 2 and Wolverine. Can’t wait for The Last of Us remake as well
Didn’t even mention Pitfall
Funny thing is, you only scratched the surface of the IP treasure trove they got with Activision. If they really start reviving dormant series, like Phil said, they could be having more games than any single person alone could reasonably play. With the Sierra and Infocom IPs alone they could be pushing out story driven games, that already have an established name in the business, for the next decade. Then they have Pitfall, which could easily become the next Uncharted, when done right, Metal Arms just screams for a new game, and maybe add the old one to backwards compatibility. Activision also owns Bizarre Creations, which no longer exist under that name AFAIK, but maybe the people are still there, so why not release a new Project Gotham Racing? This just goes on and on.
i mean bethesda was a good aquistion, those studios under bethesda are top notch tallent and they strive for creativity and inovation before greed, take arkane studios, they could easily make dishonered 3 and would sell like crazy but choose not to as that IP has concluded its story, activision used to be a great publisher when they had studios like neversoft, now they just make the same games on a yearly cycle, how are people still choosing to pay for a new call of duty game every year. well see how it goes, but bethesda fits microsofts eco system, not sure on activitision blizzard
Let's be honest we only really care about skyrim
As long as Sega, Capcom, Namco, Square-Enix, Rockstar and SNK are not yet acquires by these game companies…that's still not a big news.
Microsoft finally gave up the idea they could make decent games and started using money the right way.
I was actually wondering about this
nice move from call of duty its already dying maybe microsoft revive it again
sony makes microsoft goes crazy
As much as I love gamepass
I have a feeling the price will rise wen they start rolling new games
Congrats to Microsoft I hope they give me a reason to buy a series x because I need it if I’m tryna drop another 500 on another console after getting the ps5 already
People on 2018: Xbox has no games.
Xbox: And I took that personally.
I hope Microsoft puts some of these new 1st party studios to work on IP that's been long-dormant. A modern action/Adventure take on "Pitfall," or "The Last Ninja." Or even bring out "StarCraft Ghost" from the dead and give it a modern twist.
I’m from india and this news just made my decision to buy the series x ye best decision ever
Microsoft showing the power of money, "if you can't beat them… Buy them".
Xbox took the “no exclusives” personal 😂😂
Ninja Theory and Blizzard oh no… 🙁
I wonder if this will have an impact on World of Warcraft, I really miss that game but it just has changed so much, it feels more like doing chores instead of actually playing a game to have fun
Antitrust.
The PlayStation fangirls besides being jealous are also hypocrites since the majority of games that used to be exclusive to playstation consoles have come to Xbox since the first Xbox & then even more with the 360,one & now the series x/s,games like crash,spyro,tomb raider,grand theft auto,etc have been on Xbox consoles for decades & developers don’t care about your bad childhoods,your messed up “thinking” about your blind nostalgia/outdated ways that don’t exist anymore & your obsession with old games & thinking that still applies to this modern world when it doesn’t(when mass effect,the elder scrolls& other games that were exclusives to Xbox came to playstation they thought they were getting everything but now that the tables have turned again they are crying/whining/b*tching like they always do since this time they will be exclusive to Xbox,these are facts.

Crazy Microsoft is buying everything up.
Too bad I'll never get to play any of them because Microsoft wont let me log into my Xbox account and ignore all my emails.
You forgot Killer Instinct.
Not sure this is a good thing, but atleast it means that game pass owners will get alot of awesome games "free"
Xbox has no games 😂
I just hope MS manages them better than the previous owners. Blizzard took a massive hit to their reputation since Activision acquired them. Also, how funny would it have been if Bungie was still partnered with them during this acquisition.
Microsoft doesn't own Activision/Blizzard yet. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if this deal falls through or gets blocked for one reason or another. This is talking as if this deal is all done and in the books.
I heard that Microsoft is also bringing back don mattrick
This video was so lazy. Daily mention like a handful of games. far more than this.
