Gaming Deals Activity Report: Q1–Q3 2022
The $124.5 billion total deal value for Q1–Q3 2022 is heavily skewed by Microsoft’s $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard, masking a broader market cooling driven by macroeconomic instability and regulatory pressure.
Strategic M&A activity reached a record $101.4 billion despite a 40% decline in the number of closed transactions, with major activity led by Embracer Group, Sony, and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund.
Public offerings have nearly collapsed to their lowest point since early 2020, with deal values shrinking fivefold compared to 2021 levels.
