The CMA’s preliminary approval is great news for Activision Blizzard’s future with Microsoft.

We’re glad the CMA has responded positively to the solutions Microsoft has proposed, and together we’ll continue to work toward completing the regulatory review process.

We are encouraged by this positive development in the CMA’s review process. We presented solutions that we believe fully address the CMA’s remaining concerns related to cloud game streaming, and we will continue to work toward earning approval to close prior to the October 18…

CMA still has to give final approval.

Next they will wait for third party feedback over the next two weeks. Then they will give final decision.

We are in the endgame.
