Microsoft is reportedly continuing its strategy of acquisitions in the gaming sector, despite recent layoffs that affected over 2,500 employees. Following its significant acquisition of Activision, the company is exploring further opportunities to enhance its competitiveness in the industry. Phil Spencer, head of Xbox, indicated that Microsoft is particularly interested in acquiring mobile game studios. This move aligns with the company's ongoing efforts to strengthen its portfolio in the gaming market. Concurrently, Blizzard Entertainment is actively hiring for a new project, rumored to be an open-world shooter game, potentially linked to the StarCraft franchise.
