In a bid to further improve the case for Xbox to buy Activision Blizzard, Microsoft has confirmed that another 10-year deal has been struck following similar deals with Nintendo and Nvidia.
This time the deal revolves around another cloud gaming platform in the form of “Boosteroid”. Boosteroid is a Ukraine-based cloud gaming service that currently serves more than four million users worldwide, according to a new press release from Microsoft.
In the post, a comment from Xbox boss Phil Spencer on what this deal means for the future of Microsoft’s cloud gaming plans:
“We believe in the power of games to bring people together. That’s why Xbox is committed to giving everyone more ways to play their favorite games, on all devices…”
“Bringing Xbox PC games to Boosteroid members, including Activision Blizzard titles like ‘Call of Duty’ once the deal is closed, is yet another step in making this vision a reality.”
As noted in Phil’s statement, this deal focuses on ActiBlizz and its games once the deal is done, and the Xbox official will also mention the publisher in an accompanying statement. peep.
