Microsoft's 10-year deals continue with gaming partnerships.
TL;DR
Microsoft has signed a ten-year agreement with Japanese cloud gaming company Ubitus to stream Xbox PC Games and Activision Blizzard titles after the acquisition closes, in an attempt to allay regulatory concerns around its proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Ubitus powers many of the cloud games available on Nintendo Switch. This is Microsoft's second announcement this week for a third-party cloud gaming platform. The Xbox owner is trying to convince global regulators to approve the proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard amid concerns that it could build a monopoly in cloud gaming.
