Microsoft has stated that it has entered into collaborations with Nvidia and Nintendo in an effort to win over European Union officials and get them to approve the company’s $69 billion purchase of Activision Blizzard, the developer of the Call of Duty video game series.
It was reported on Tuesday that Microsoft President Brad Smith met behind closed doors in Brussels with EU regulators and competitors to address worries that Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard could harm competition in the video game sector. U.S. and British authorities have both expressed concerns about the transaction.

After the Activision-Microsoft merger is complete, Microsoft will bring the newest Call of Duty game to the Nintendo platform under the terms of a 10-year deal.
According to Smith’s interview with Richard Quest published on Tuesday, “a lot changed today because Microsoft announced two agreements that together will bring Call of Duty, the game that everyone has been talking about, to 150 million more people on Nintendo devices and Nvidia’s cloud streaming services.” He went on to claim that the two agreements put an end to fears that Call of Duty would become less accessible than it is now, and would actually make it more so.
“We’re really down to one principal company that is objecting to this deal, and that’s Sony, and we’ve made clear that we’re happy to enter a 10-year agreement with Sony and we’re prepared to enter regulatory obligations as well, whether it’s London or Brussels or Washington,” Smith said. “So, in addition to a contract, we’d have a duty under the law.”
We have signed a 10 year agreement with NVIDIA that will allow GeForce NOW players to stream Xbox PC games as well as Activision Blizzard PC titles, including COD, following the acquisition. We´re committed to bringing more games to more people – however they choose to play.
