After a lengthy legal battle with regulators, Microsoft’s $68.7 billion acquisition of game publisher Activision Blizzard is complete, adding another stack of franchises and studios to the tech company’s portfolio.

Microsoft’s Xbox division just picked up massive gaming brands like Call of Duty, Warcraft, Candy Crush Saga, and Overwatch in the process, joining already-owned IP like Minecraft and The Elder Scrolls, plus it has Activision studios like Blizzard, Infinity Ward, and King. Microsoft now owns over 23 game studios.

“To the millions of fans who love Activision, Blizzard, and King games, we know that you are the heart and soul of these franchises, and we’re honored to have you as part of our community,” wrote Xbox boss Phil Spencer in a tweet celebrating the acquisition Friday.
