Market Share of Online Action Games Industry
The market for online action games is highly fragmented due to the existence of fierce competition among market participants and the rising popularity of mobile applications worldwide. The competition is heightened by the market's major participants, including Sony Corporation, Microsoft, and Nintendo, who constantly innovate and introduce new game systems.
- In January 2022, Microsoft Corp. declared its plans to buy Activision Blizzard Inc., a pioneer in game development and interactive entertainment content publisher. This acquisition will hasten the growth of Microsoft's gaming business across mobile, PC, console, and cloud platforms. After Tencent and Sony, Microsoft will rank third in the world for gaming revenue. Famous franchises from Activision, Blizzard, and King studios, including "Warcraft," "Diablo," "Overwatch," "Call of Duty," and "Candy Crush," as well as international eSports operations through major league gaming, are included in the potential acquisition.
- In March 2022, Sony Interactive Entertainment LLC declared agreeing to buy Haven Entertainment Studios Inc., a Montreal-based development studio. Haven Studios is primarily led by a premier team of game developers with over a decade of experience, working together on some of the industry's most well-known games and franchises.
