In the fourth quarter of 2023, M&A activity in the gaming industry hit its highest point in the last three years with the value of closed deals reaching 68.7 billion U.S. dollars - however, this blockbuster quarter was down to the final closing of Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Without that mega-deal, the closed M&A activity during the most recently reported quarter amounted to about 400 million U.S. dollars. Regular video game M&A activity value peaked in the second quarter of 2022 with 17.3 billion U.S. dollars worth of closed deals.
