Microsoft has won its court case against the Federal Trade Commission in its bid to purchase Activision Blizzard King.
Today, July 11, a US court ruled that the FTC has not provided substantial evidence to prevent Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard King from proceeding. That means that, while there are other obstacles to be overcome, most notably the CMA's block in the UK, the deal can close in the US. The temporary restraining order previously expiring July 18 has also been bumped up to end on July 14, though the FTC can still appeal.
