BRUSSELS: Microsoft Corp President Brad Smith said on Tuesday the US software giant has agreed to a 10-year licensing deal that will bring Activision games to Nvidia Corp's gaming platform.
Smith told a news conference he was now more optimistic of getting the Activision acquisition done after the Nvidia licensing deal as well as a similar arrangement with Nintendo Co Ltd. Nvidia said in a press statement that it has struck a 10- year deal with Microsoft to immediately start work on integrating Xbox games into its GeForce Now streaming games service, which has 25 million users in more than 100 countries.
Sony has led opposition to the Microsoft-Activision deal, saying last year it was"bad for competition, bad for the gaming industry and bad for gamers themselves."
