Electronic Arts announced Wednesday that they are buying Warner Bros. Games’ mobile gaming studio Playdemic for $1.4 billion in an all-cash deal.

Video game giant is continuing to make M&A moves as it looks to bulk up its presence in the mobile gaming world. The studio is best known for its release “Golf Clash” which the studio boasts has more than 80 million downloads globally.

EA is the second-largest Western video games company with a market cap around $40 billion. Their success has largely come from desktop and console titles including titles in their most popular franchises like Battlefield, Star Wars and Titanfall.

Mobile dominance hasn’t come easy to the company which has spent much of the past decade or so trying to keep pace with competitors like Activision Blizzard which struck gold with its 2016 King acquisition.

EA has been on a studio buying spree as of late — in 2021 they’ve announced three major acquisitions worth some $5 billion combined.

Microsoft will create its own Xbox games for the cloud

The company has hired former Google Stadia design director Kim Swift, best known for Valve’s hit game Portal

“Kim is going to build a team focused on new experiences in the cloud,” Xbox Game Studios publishing head Peter Wyse told Polygon, adding that Microsoft’s goal was to create “cloud-native games”

The games you now can play on cloud services are not “cloud-native.” Every game you play on Microsoft’s xCloud runs on a single Xbox board in a server rack, so it’s not all that different from the experience of playing on an Xbox at home

There are other signs that Microsoft is getting serious about cloud gaming, they recently announced it’s upgrading its xCloud servers to the latest Xbox Series X hardware, which should dramatically improve quality

Cloud streaming is still a growing technology, and soon we should expect a revolution!

The emergence of such a standard could improve the convenience for end-users and contribute to the reduction of e-waste, like power adapters and charging cables will be shared between devices of different brands Open / Comment
