The Statement of Objections have dropped in Xbox's lap from the European Union. These are against the Microsoft Activision Deal that has had many concerns about things like a Call of Duty exclusive to Xbox future. While the Microsoft Activision Blizzard purchase has been in turmoil, there are several cases ongoing. One with the FTC, one with the EU, one with the CMA, and one referred to as the Gamer Lawsuit. All of these had intermingling facts today with big Xbox news today about the statement of objections that may have been alluded to in another case. However, while Xbox subpoena PlayStation for records, we learned a little bit more about the possible close date of the deal. A lot to go over today in terms of PlayStation news today and Xbox 2023 news that will impact their dealings across the board.
