No, Xbox is Not Buying Steam

Despite what an April Fools’ video may have players believe, Xbox is not buying Steam anytime soon. Microsoft has been known for flexing its purchasing power with Xbox, buying a bevy of developers to add to its Xbox Game Studios portfolio. Since the launch of the Xbox One in 2014, Microsoft has made notable acquisitions of developers like Mojang Studios, Ninja Theory, Obsidian Entertainment, and Double Fine. It would then take this to the next level when moving to the Xbox Series X/S generation, acquiring major self-autonomous publishers such as Bethesda and Activision.
