Report: U.S. FTC Will Review Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard Deal

A new report by Bloomberg claims that the United States’ Federal Trade Commission is set to review Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard. A source close to the agency, which holds an aggressive stance against such deals, told the publication that it will investigate the acquisition instead of the Justice Department to determine if it harms competition. Microsoft declined to comment on the report and the FTC did not respond to a request for comment.
