UFC 4

In the early days of 2022, Microsoft made waves by purchasing Activision Blizzard. The company is responsible for some of the biggest online franchises of all time (starcraft and overwatch), the biggest MMO ever (world of warcraft), and the highest-grossing annual series (call of duty), could possibly become an Xbox exclusive developer. And for a price tag of over $70 billion, it was the largest acquisition in gaming history.

With such a massive acquisition taking place, Sony was quick to respond with one of their own. Sony will be purchasing the original Halo developer for a relatively tame price tag of just $3.6 billion. It is one of three major consolidations to happen in the games industry in a single month.

According to the fine print, the original Halo development studio will become an independent subsidiary of Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE). The current management team at Bungie will be part of the board of directors, which will include the current CEO.

2.      Rumbleverse

In 2022, there is a software development battle and new console models from Sony and Microsoft are struggling to keep up with it. The promise of software is always better than the hardware. Still, the holiday season was busy and online stores continue to offer new Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5.

What’s startling is that no new-generation games are on the list for either of these consoles. Currently, Sony’s 2022 release lineup covers PlayStation 4 and 5. On the other hand, Microsoft celebrates Xbox Series X with a cross-gen release like Halo and Forza franchises.
