Saudi Arabia became the first country whose regulatory body approved (more precisely, it is noted that it “does not mind”) a deal between Microsoft and Activision Blizzard – the former acquires the second for $68.7 billion. So at least in this state they are not against the upcoming takeover.
The deal must be closed by the end of June 2023, and until then it must be approved by regulators from different countries, including Japan, the UK, Australia, the US, China, South Korea, Brazil and more.
