"Xbox's FTC Trial Against Activision Blizzard: Latest Updates and Controversies"

Microsoft and the Xbox brand are heading to federal court this week to defend their proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard against the United States' Federal Trade Commission. The FTC is attempting to impose a preliminary injunction on Microsoft and Activision Blizzard, which would mean they can't complete the acquisition while the FTC's review of the transaction's compliance with U.S. antitrust law is ongoing. The trial is taking place at the United States District Court in the Northern District of California and is scheduled across five days, beginning on June 22.
