Microsoft har købt rigtig, rigtig mange studier de sidste par år, og de er ved at gøre klar til deres største handel til dato, hvor de køber Activision Blizzard inden sommeren 2023. Men selv her er de tilsyneladende ikke færdige, eller de vil i hvert fald ikke bekræfte at dette markerer slutningen på denne fase.
I et interview med CNBC fortæller Xbox-chef Phil Spencer, at det kan være at vi ser yderligere studiekøb i fremtiden:
"This is such a competitive market, I don't think we get to press pause on anything. Tencent is the largest gaming company on the planet today and they continue to heavily invest in gaming content and game creators. Sony is a larger business than we are in gaming today and they continue to invest. When you look at the investments that we've made, it's a highly, highly competitive market," he continued. "We strive to be a major player here. We want to deliver great content for our players and we're going to remain active, whether that's investing in our internal teams that are already building great games that people know and love, whether it's building new partnerships. And if it turns into acquisitive M&A work, we're active there too. So, the work for us never ends. It's a competitive market and I want to make sure Xbox is at the forefront of innovation and competition."
Spencer har flere gange talt om eventuelt at købe japanske studier, men hvilke vides ikke.
