Xbox boss Phil Spencer has spoken about how important Microsoft's presence in the mobile gaming space is for 'Xbox to continue to thrive.'
. According to Spencer, Microsoft thinks that it's"important" to have an Xbox mobile store.
"If you go back to the origins of how Steam got created, that was about a place for Valve to distribute their content. Why did the players go there? Because Half-Life was awesome. And people wanted to find the expansion packs and other things. So, when we look at going into another platform, hopefully that is open to other storefronts, which isn't true globally today," Spencer said.
Of course, many of Microsoft's mobile plans are currently linked to the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, which could be settled in October, provided the CMA signs off on it."I remain confident in the deal," Spencer said."We're obviously working constructively with regulators. It's my first time doing a deal of the size in the regulatory process. Maybe that's obvious now from the outside! But we remain confident in the process.
