Ubisoft has announced that Activision Blizzard’s titles are coming to its premium subscription service, Ubisoft+. It will receive cloud streaming rights for the “complete slate” of the latter’s titles, including Call of Duty. Once its acquisition by Microsoft is complete, new titles in the next 15 years will also be added.

“The games will land on Ubisoft+, while also allowing Ubisoft to license them to cloud gaming companies, service providers, and console makers,” said the company. If you have Ubisoft+ Multi Access, these titles are playable on PC, Xbox consoles, Amazon Luna and PlayStation (via Ubisoft+ Classics).

Chris Early, Senior VP of Strategic Partnerships and Business Development at Ubisoft stated, “We’re dedicated to delivering amazing experiences to our players wherever they choose to play. Over the past 15 years, we’ve built and honed our online services and distribution ecosystem into one of the most complete in the industry. Today’s deal gives players even more opportunities to access and enjoy some of the biggest brands in gaming.”

More details on the addition of Activision Blizzard’s titles to Ubisoft+, along with “other cloud gaming platforms,” will be provided later. Stay tuned for updates in the meantime.

As for the deal’s status, Microsoft has sent its final submission to the Consumer Markets Authority in the UK, which had previously blocked the acquisition. The latter was set to deliver its verdict on August 29th, but both parties were granted two months to resolve any issues.
