Today, Ubisoft made a statement that shocked many gamers. The company has signed a deal with Microsoft that will see Ubisoft stream Call of Duty and other titles from the Activision Blizzard stable. Yes, you read it right. Games from the famous company will be expanded not only by the cloud, but also by Ubisoft+. But not at once. The condition assumes the implementation of the acquisition of Activision Blizzard by Microsoft.
Ubisoft+ should get not only current work. The contract covers projects for the next fifteen years after the acquisition. Thus, in the future, the subscription will allow players to play Ubisoft and Activision Blizzard games on different platforms as part of the Ubisoft+ Multi Access service.
Commenting on the move, Ubisoft said, “Over the past 15 years, we have built and refined our online services and distribution ecosystem to be one of the most comprehensive in the industry. Today’s deal gives gamers even more ways to access and enjoy some of the biggest gaming brands.” How and when games will be added will be revealed in the coming weeks and months. However, this is an important step, and certainly not one that most of the world expected.
