It’s no secret that with today’s announcement of Xbox’s acquisition of Activision-Blizzard, Xbox’s juggernaut of studios and franchises has moved to a new level in terms of… trying to keep track of which studios and franchise they own so we thought we’d take a look at not only what was added today but also their overall list of studios which they are now in control.
It’s worth mentioning that even though Xbox has made their intentions extremely clear when it comes to the Activision-Blizzard acquisition, technically it hasn’t been legally accepted yet, although we now see why they don’t. will not.

Believe it or not, there are actually more that are sleeping, but we’ve limited this list to those that have been active in the past 5-10 years.
THE NEW XBOX FIRST-PARTY STUDIO LIST
With the addition of several new Activision Blizzard studios and a whole bunch of new talent, this brings the Xbox studio lineup to over 30 studios.
The great Klobrille also put this into a new graphic to make it super easy, but it’s clearly getting to the point where one graphic just isn’t enough.
