According to foreign media reports, Tuesday, Microsoft said it's buying video game publisher Activision Blizzard for almost $69 billion, a price that would narrowly eclipse the richest U.S. tech deal in history.
Microsoft still has to win approval from Activision's shareholders and regulators. For Microsoft, the purchase price is more than double what the 47-year-old company has ever paid. Its top previous acquisition was LinkedIn in 2016, which cost over $26 billion.
In 2016, Dell purchased EMC for $67 billion. The JDS-SDL deal comes next, followed by IBM’s $34 billion acquisition of Red Hat, which closed in 2019.
