Bobby Kotick, the controversial CEO of Activision Blizzard, will continue in his role, according to a press release detailing the announced acquisition.
The agreement is pending regulatory review and Activision Blizzard shareholder approval, with the deal set to close in 2023.
The acquisition would boost Microsoft’s Game Pass portfolio with the addition of Activision Blizzard games and the nearly 400 million monthly active players that come with them.
