The bigger ramifications of Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard will doubtless not materialise for a number of years, however one fairly imminent benefit is the promise of some or all of their titles coming to Xbox Recreation Move.
Through the company's 'business update' last week, Xbox announced Diablo 4 as the first Activision Blizzard title coming to the subscription service, on March 28, but there's been no phrase on some other video games past that.
