The acquisition gives Microsoft the opportunity to leverage the franchise to drive engagement and sales on their own platforms[2].

This could lead to improved gameplay experiences, graphics, and overall quality for players.
Integration with Xbox Ecosystem: The acquisition could result in tighter integration between the Call of Duty franchise and the Xbox ecosystem. This could include features such as cross-platform play, cloud gaming, and integration with Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft’s subscription-based gaming service.
Potential Innovation and Expansion: Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard opens up opportunities for innovation and expansion within the Call of Duty franchise. With Microsoft’s focus on cloud gaming and streaming services, we may see new ways to play and experience Call of Duty games in the future.
