Activision Blizzard, publicly owned and headquartered in the US, was founded in 2008, operates with approximately 2030 employees, and reported $7.9B in revenue as of 2024. The company's primary focus is consumer gaming, functioning as a video game holding company. It is a subsidiary of Microsoft and oversees subsidiaries including Blizzard Entertainment and Infinity Ward. The company was formed through the merger of Activision, Inc. and Vivendi Games in July 2008 and has been a member of the S&P 500 Index since 2015.
Activision Blizzard renewed its lease for Building 1 at 9825 Spectrum Drive within North Austin's Davis Spring Corporate Center on March 19, 2026, solidifying its presence in a market where office landlords face renewal challenges. Earlier in March, former Overwatch co-creator Jeff Kaplan explained his departure from Blizzard after 19 years, citing immense pressure to generate recurring revenue for Overwatch. In an interview on the Lex Fridman Podcast, Kaplan recounted a conversation with a Blizzard CFO who warned that failing to achieve recurring revenue in 2021 would result in thousands of layoffs, which Kaplan described as his breaking point.
