Ubisoft believes that cloud gaming will eventually become extremely popular
By ForGeeks Ubisoft CEO Yves Guimault is betting that cloud gamification will revolutionize the gaming industry in the same way that it has in the TV and movie business.
Here’s what Ubisoft CEO Yves Guimault is betting.
The publisher of Assassin’s Creed recently agreed to acquire cloud gaming rights outside the European Economic Area for all Activision Blizzard games released over the next 15 years if Microsoft’s $69 billion acquisition of Call of Duty goes through.

Without disclosing details of the deal, Guillemot told the Financial Times that Ubisoft’s streaming deal will include a «one-time payment» to Microsoft. Research group Omdia estimates that cloud gaming services will bring in $3.2 billion in 2023, representing two percent of total consumer spending on games, but that figure will at least double in the next five years.

Guimault expects cloud gaming, driven by the release of more powerful mobile technology, to find widespread adoption in emerging markets where console gaming has yet to gain a foothold.
