Original News

It seems that next week could be the definitive one for the future of Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision. Next Monday, we should know the verdict of the judge, either in favor of or against the FTC. If the judge rules against the FTC, Microsoft could close the deal before July 18th.

If the judge rules in favor of the FTC, we would see the following steps taken by Microsoft, although there is a possibility that the acquisition could be dismissed. What is certain, however, is that if the judge Jacqueline Scott Corley rules in favor of Microsoft on Monday, the acquisition will go through, and what happened in the UK with the CMA will become secondary.

The acquisition of Activision by Microsoft could be closed next week

The entire agreement has a deadline, and the next few days starting from Monday will determine the future of the acquisition, both positively and negatively. If it is finally confirmed, Microsoft can begin working on its strategy with the UK and the formulas it could use, another front, but not the most important one at this point. A feeling and memories that, gladly, will return this 2023. Because yes, UFC is back with its fifth installment.

looks like the FTC v. Microsoft decision will likely be Monday at this point
