Key Findings
About This Dataset
Largest Video Game Company Acquisitions of All TimeMicrosoft's 75.4 billion dollar purchase of Activision Blizzard, completed in 2023, is by far the largest deal in gaming history, roughly 20 billion above the second-largest transaction. The private-equity buyout of Electronic Arts at 55 billion ranks second, together showing how the biggest deals have escalated into the tens of billions. There is then a large gap down to the 18.9 billion Activision-Vivendi merger of 2008 and Take-Two's 12.7 billion acquisition of Zynga. Most of the remaining deals, involving Supercell, ZeniMax, King, Scopely, Moonton and Bungie, fall between 3.7 and 8.6 billion. The concentration of megadeals in the 2020s reflects rapid consolidation across the industry.
