Microsoft president Brad Smith states that this change means Microsoft won’t control the “exclusive” rights to stream Activision Blizzard games.

“Under the restructured transaction, Microsoft will not be in a position either to release Activision Blizzard games exclusively on its own cloud streaming service - Xbox Cloud Gaming - or to exclusively control the licensing terms of Activision Blizzard games for rival services,” Smith wrote today in a blog post setting out the change.

Ubisoft will be able to license the games to a range of other cloud gaming and subscription services, and pay Microsoft for the rights to each title via a “one-off payment” and “an option that supports pricing based on usage”.
