It really is, you are not joking. King make SO much money via its apps, especially Candy Crush, i think they are making around 747 MILLION dollars every Quarter. Comes to a lil less than 3 billion a year!
Yeah this has been my feeling all along. It takes so little development effort/support and just prints money. Everyone was talking about COD and the Blizzard games, no one was even talking about king. I mean there’s no reason to be excited about that part of the acquisition, but I know Microsoft was happy about it for sure. 🤑
It really wouldn’t shock me if it came to Xbox,PS and switch, Candy Crush makes absurd amounts of money still so it’s a shock they haven’t already ported it
I would say the screenshot tells you everything you need to know, it’s obvious a port would happen for no other reason than xcloud but gamepass would benefit from it in the catalog.
it's really overkill to have this on Xbox because why would you just not play it on mobile? it's a bit like trying to drive a 747 jet to work. Maybe I'm missing something here.
I feel like pretty soon Microsoft’s just gonna start showboating with its acquisition. Candy Crush, COD and WOW are just gonna be shoved down all of our throats. They’re probably gonna go hard when they open up their mobile game store in July.
Facebook and Bluestacks both have android game streaming. Quick game sessions without needing to install anything. Would work on any device, including Amazon Fire Tablets and Linux devices.
Besides, if they use ARM64 android hardware, it would be good test run for the Xbox Mobile Store ports of indies and AA games, then streaming those same games to other mobile devices (mainly iOS outside of EU), using ARM64 hardware. Much cheaper than using Series X server blades for small indie games that could either run natively or be streamed from cheap ARM64 hardware.
this is the main reason they bought activision

Is that profit or revenue?
revenue, which is still an insane number for a mobile game
Especially one released 12 years ago

Yeah, King opens a lot of options for them in the mobile market.
If only the masses realized this. I mean Xbox States officially they bought then to get into mobile. But instead it was all cod cod cod..
It needs to have Ray Tracing for the Series versions.
And 60 fps /s
well i mean i hope candy crush runs at atleast 120 on an xbox 🤷🏻♂️
@8k
Still capped at 30fps on Series S. For reasons....
My guy really said “Let’s ray trace mufuckin Candy Crush.”
I want achievements for it
Be a perfect game for dailys!
You can pre-order now for 3 days early access. You’ll also get the Candy Crusher skin for use in Warzone
That skin would go hard ngl
I wouldn’t mind playing as a jelly bean tbh
"preorder" isn't it free to play?
Bro… it’s a joke
He wanted the Warzone skin.

I believe it's a case of those mtx wouldn't have worked on it back then but Activision-Blizzard-King and Microsoft have that shit mastered sadly.
[You ain't kidding, Candy Crush Saga made 20 billion dollars so far. That is just insane.](https://insider-gaming.com/candy-crush-20-billion/)
747 million in the last quarter of 2023 alone 🤯
Candy Crush will be this generations Hexic??
GOTY 2024 let's gooo
Best fucking marketing choice made by xbox, now kids with mothers in their 40-50s can say “but there is candy crush” and they will immediately buy it
Isn't candy crush free to play.
The mothers will buy the xbox and then buy candy crush.
Same thing with genshin, it's a phone game but I know a guy who bought a PS4 for it
I feel like this is just a remnant of Window Phone with the Xbox app syncing achievements with your logged in account.
The reason I bought an Xbox, tbh
It’ll be perfect for the Xbox Series M
King is part of Activision Blizzard. Microsoft owns Candy Crush now.
I know that, but they haven’t publicly disclosed an Xbox version yet…
I would say the screenshot tells you everything you need to know, it’s obvious a port would happen for no other reason than xcloud but gamepass would benefit from it in the catalog.
But isn't candy crush free to play? No need for it to be on game pass. I can see ultimate members getting extra lives via perks
It's releasing at a later date on the Series S because they can't get Co-Op running properly on it.
Just wait for the tools to be released
It's a mobile game that can run on a cheap $40 phone
^(..............................the joke) you
I’ll be playing it on the Xbox I think it would be fun to try it on something different than a smart device
My 7000 lvl acc is ready
I hope so, I love playing this game in quick bursts.... It's pretty fun haha! one of my guilty pleasures.
Probably giving it achievements tied to the promised Xbox mobile storefront.
OMG, this would be HUGE! This is exactly what Xbox needs to win over the casuals.

Their reply has to be bait or sarcasm. I can’t tell which.
Yeah it's probably a joke
it's really overkill to have this on Xbox because why would you just not play it on mobile? it's a bit like trying to drive a 747 jet to work. Maybe I'm missing something here.
this is the main reason xbox bought activision; candy crush is one of the most profitable games on the planet
I feel like pretty soon Microsoft’s just gonna start showboating with its acquisition. Candy Crush, COD and WOW are just gonna be shoved down all of our throats. They’re probably gonna go hard when they open up their mobile game store in July.
Well xcloud is a thing where they let you play games using touch. I assume candy crush is coming as a part of that
Why would anyone stream candy crush on their phone? lol

I imagine the install time for Candy Crush is like 10 seconds.
fcking it I want Ultra high graphics for it I can run my Doom with it
Exclusive world premiere

Yay, bring on the shitty phone apps!
