PlayStation would look for a coup de effect to counteract Microsoft’s purchase of Activision Blizzard, if it ends up coming true.
The Microsoft’s purchase of Activision Blizzard It has become one of the most pressing and endless issues in the video game industry. After the blockade by the FTC and the trial that will take place soon, everything is in standby, although there are voices that ensure that this is paralyzing certain ads, as an Xbox exclusive game event that the Redmond company would have prepared. On the other side of the battle is Sony, which would also be waiting for the resolution to make its own moves and one of them could shake up the sector, since I could buy Square Enix.
The information comes from the hand of the leaker LumberjackRy, which in the past has given some information regarding the PlayStation environment. However, at the time of writing this news the user has already deleted the tweet in questionalthough he has maintained another in which he argues that already hit purchases from FireSprite Games, Bungie, and Valkyrie Entertainment to become part of PlayStation Studios. That same source has assured him that Sony’s eyes are directed towards Square Enix, Capcom and SEGA.
Actually, the same source that correctly told me about FireSprite Games, Bungie, and Valkyrie Entertainment’s acquisitions mentioned Capcom, Sega, and Square.
Apparently Sony is just awaiting the Activision Blizzard acquisition to happen to hit the go button. https://t.co/kKgsJyskH5

Sony would buy Square Enix and allow its games to reach Nintendo consoles
Luckily, users of the social network have been able to gather the leaker’s comments in reference to the post he has removed, in which he claimed that, After the purchase of Activision Blizzard by Microsoft is certified, Sony would already be negotiating the purchase of Square Enix and these would be the points to take into account in the alleged agreement:
- Square Enix would become part of PlayStation Studios
- Sony would allow Square Enix will continue to publish games on Nintendo consoles
- All games would arrive with priority on PS5published by PlayStation
- The arrival on Xbox would not be contemplated due to low sales of Square Enix games on their consoles
Of course, all this is to be treated as rumor and speculation, since there is no official information about it. LumberjackRy has a rather turbulent historysince he is right in that he succeeded in the purchases of FireSprite Games, Bungie, and Valkyrie Entertainment by Sony, but he has also starred in some important whistles in his intention to filter events in the interactive leisure sector, so it will be time to take it with tweezers .
