PlayStation would be looking for a coup to thwart Microsoft’s purchase of Activision Blizzard, should it become a reality.
The Microsoft’s purchase of Activision Blizzard It has become one of the most pressing and never-ending problems in the video game industry. After the block by the FTC and the process that will take place soon, everything is on standby, though there are rumors that this is crippling some ads, as an Xbox-exclusive gaming 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 these could give the sector a jolt, given that I could buy Square Enix.
The information comes from the hand of the leaker LumberjackRy, which has provided some information regarding the PlayStation environment in the past. However, as of this writing the user has already deleted the tweet in questionalthough he has kept another one in which he supports it has already reached purchases from FireSprite Games, Bungie and Valkyrie Entertainment join PlayStation Studios. That same source assured him so Sony’s eyes are on Square Enix, Capcom and SEGA.
Actually, the same source who correctly told me about the acquisitions of FireSprite Games, Bungie and Valkyrie Entertainment mentioned Capcom, Sega and Square.
Apparently Sony is just waiting for 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
Fortunately, users of the social network were able to collect the leaker’s comments in reference to the post he removed, in which he stated that, After Microsoft certifies its purchase of Activision Blizzard, Sony is already negotiating the purchase of Square Enix and these would be the points to be taken into account in the alleged agreement:
- Square Enix would become part of PlayStation Studios
- Sony would allow it Square Enix will continue to publish games on Nintendo consoles
- All games would come with priority on PS5by PlayStation
- The arrival on Xbox would not be contemplated due to low sales of Square Enix games on their consoles
Of course, all of this must be treated as rumor and speculation, as there is no official information about it. Lumberjack Ry has quite a turbulent storyseeing as he’s right to be successful in Sony’s purchases of FireSprite Games, Bungie and Valkyrie Entertainment, but he’s also starred in some major boos in its intention to filter events in the interactive leisure sector, so it’s time to take it with the tweezers.
