Recently, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella opened up stating the clear vision of the company to strengthen its business in various fields including the rapidly growing Metaverse. In addition to that, Microsoft is planning to push many Activision games to Xbox Game Pass once the deal is finalized. This will add more power to the Xbox Game Pass series eventually becoming the third largest Gaming company in terms of revenue. Well, the other side of this acquisition would be cleaning the mess created inside Activision Blizzard that was followed by a long-run Sexual Harassment activity. This move will not only show the accused ones the exit way but also re-shape the company’s work culture in a long run.

This will empower the world of Metaverse while making it highly accessible to most people. In addition to that, the field of Augmented Reality is no more subjected to a finite space. With Facebook Meta already enhancing the Oculus service, Microsoft will focus more on delivering a high level of content in the VR world.
