Activision Blizzard’s controversial boss Bobby Kotick has said he will stay on as the company’s CEO for the remainder of 2023, following Microsoft’s long-awaited acquisition of the company today.
A statement from Xbox boss Phil Spencer says similar, with Kotick’s tenure at the company set to continue through “the end of 2023” to “ensure a smooth and seamless integration”.
Neither notice makes it explicit what will happen next year, though the wording of both statements suggests Kotick’s departure is possible as early as January 2024.
