The completion of the Activision Blizzard King acquisition after a regulatory process spanning 20 months has left many gaming enthusiasts eager to see what the future holds for Xbox. Phil Spencer, in a recent podcast, reiterated that Call of Duty titles will not become Xbox exclusives. Additionally, the integration of ABK releases into Xbox Game Pass may take some time, given the logistical complexity of incorporating numerous new teams into the Xbox ecosystem. Due to the uncertain status of the deal, it was only after October that steps were taken to bring the Activision Blizzard catalog to the subscription service.
In the long term, Xbox Game Pass subscribers can anticipate the addition of exciting new games to the lineup. Phil Spencer even mentioned several ABK franchises that are ripe for revival, indicating a promising future for Xbox gaming enthusiasts.
