Microsoft and Activision plan to give up on cloud-gaming business in UK

Posted on

Microsoft Activision Blizzard cooperations are planning to give up control of their cloud-gaming business in the UK. Why so? Well, a reason behind this consideration is to bring relief for regulators so that they can complete their $69 billion merger by July 18 deadline.

The sale may involve the cloud-based market rights for games in the UK to a telecommunications firm, gaming, or internet-based computing company.
