The deal is the fourth one announced in the last couple of weeks and second since yesterday. Nintendo, Nvidia and Boosteroid were the other three. The Nintendo deal promises all Activision Blizzard games on the platform. The other three allow for Xbox PC games and the Activision Blizzard titles on the platforms including Call of Duty once the merger acquisition deal goes through.
It seems everyone is getting a deal as Microsoft is showing it is doing all they can do in order to bring its games to more people on more platforms. As of now, despite what Sony has been saying against the deal, those in favor of the acquisition are Ubisoft, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Activision Blizzard, Chile, Serbia, Take-Two Interactive and more.
Ubitus was first established in 2013 and is based in Tokyo, Japan. The companies page states:
"“With rapid technology development, the quality of the game become higher and better. Our solution is able to address the high threshold of gaming device to provide a more equal game access environment.“"
Ubitus has big money behind it as well. Some of its investors include Tencent, Square Enix, Youtube, Acorn financial services and even the Sony innovation fund itself. That makes things a little more interesting as they have been dead set against the merger since the beginning. We shouldn’t have to wait long to hear more soon as it seems deals getting done on the daily.
When do you see the merger going through? Let us know below.
