The news storm that left Microsoft’s takeover of Activision is far from calming down and. a day later, the rush of information and mystery for the future continues. Phil Spencer himself is the one who added a little more suspense around new purchases during an interview with The Wall Street Journal Tech Live.
If the Bethesda takeover surprised us, the Activision takeover did so even more, perhaps because of the unforeseen or perhaps because of the pile of accusations hanging over the company regarding the harassment of its employees. With the acquisition already made of the company responsible for gems such as Doom, Fallout and Skyrim among many others, Microsoft has decided to go further and add a new studio, with an immense trajectory in the world of games video, to a group that is growing in number and overflowing with quality, but many are wondering, is it done? The Xbox boss has an answer to that.
Phil Spencer goes for everything (and fans thank him)
In the interview granted to the American media, questioned, Spencer did not hesitate to answer:
“We’re not even close to being done. We don’t have a target or time limit to acquire new studies within a certain timeframe, but if we find a study that we think might be right for us, we will definitely move forward.”
Phil Spencer on Xbox Game Studios acquisitions @WSJ Tech Live: “We’re definitely not done. There’s no quota, no timeline where I have to go and acquire studios in a while, but if we find a studio where we have a good fit … absoutely.”

The truth is that with the wave of rumors that are always present on the Internet, Microsoft knew how to keep its two big purchases secret until the last moment, so it is likely that we will not be able to talk about a new acquisition almost until time of formalization. , so it’s likely that speculation will continue to fly freely all over the network and it’s not strange to read things like: “Microsoft would buy Nintendo”, “Microsoft would be about to take over Sega” or the old “Microsoft is opting for Ubisoft”.
