While Call of Duty has long been the focus, the mobile gaming market seems to be Microsoft's primary interest in the context of its acquisition of Activision Blizzard. If the acquisition is approved, the American giant will also take over King, the company behind the popular game Candy Crush.
Thus, Xbox CEO Phil Spencer has stated to the Financial Times that Microsoft plans to open a new online store to sell its gaming apps and those of its partners, all on iOS and Android. The launch is expected to take place as early as next year.
It should be noted that starting in March 2024, the European Union will require Apple and Google to open their respective ecosystems to stores managed by other companies.
