Private equity giants reportedly eyed Microsoft's Xbox business, valuing it at over $100B
The Information reports that several private equity firms explored acquiring Microsoft's Xbox gaming business, valuing the division at $100–150B. The story follows a June report that Microsoft had internally discussed restructuring Xbox as a wholly owned subsidiary, or even splitting or selling it, after which the division went through layoffs and strategy resets. Why it matters: Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has publicly insisted the business is not for sale, but a $100B+ price tag — near the $69B Activision deal in scale — would force a serious reckoning over gaming's strategic value inside Microsoft.
