Microsoft's Cloud Gaming Ambitions Persist Despite UK Setbacks

Microsoft has signed a 10-year agreement with Spain-based cloud gaming provider Nware to make PC games it builds in-house available to stream on that platform, along with Activision Blizzard titles if and when the $68.7 billion deal goes through. The latest agreement follows similar deals Microsoft has struck with Nintendo, Steam, NVIDIA, Boosteroid, Ubitus and EE to make its games available on those companies' platforms. These partnerships are part of a charm offensive Microsoft and Activision have been carrying out in an attempt to win over antitrust regulators.

Microsoft's Gaming Industry Power Play: Spain's Nware Deal and UK Blockade Fallout

Microsoft has signed a 10-year deal with Spanish cloud-gaming platform Nware to bring Xbox and Activision Blizzard games to the platform, following the UK's decision to block its $69bn buyout of the "Call of Duty" maker. The deal is part of Microsoft's efforts to ease concerns that its purchase of Activision would hinder competition in cloud gaming. The company has also signed similar deals with Valve Corp, Nvidia and Boosteroid, and offered Sony a 10-year "Call of Duty" license. The European Union will decide on the deal by May 22, while the US Federal Trade Commission is also seeking to block it.
