Microsoft's US$68.7 billion acquisition of gaming company Activision-Blizzard is the company's largest acquisition ever, surpassing the 2016 acquisition of LinkedIn.

Previously, Microsoft acquired the professional networking site LinkedIn for US$26.2 billion. Last year, Microsoft also acquired Nuance Communication for US$16.2 billion.

The Skype acquisition ranks fourth largest at US$8.5 billion in 2021, followed by the acquisitions of ZeniMax (parent company of Bethesda games) and GitHub, each valued at US$7.5 billion.

Not all of Microsoft's large-scale acquisitions have been successful. The 2013 acquisition of Nokia's mobile phone division is one example. Purchased for US$7.2 billion, Microsoft wrote off all of Nokia's assets in 2015.

Compared to Facebook, Apple, Google, and Amazon, Microsoft has the highest number of acquisitions exceeding US$1 billion, with 12 such acquisitions.
