- •a $32 million decrease in Blizzard net bookings, driven by lower net bookings from World of Warcraft, partially offset by higher net bookings from Diablo Immortal, a new free-to-play title released on mobile and PC.
- The decrease in net bookings was partially offset by a $49 million increase in King net bookings, driven by higher net bookings from in-game player purchases in the Candy Crush franchise.
- The decrease in in-game net bookings for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, was primarily due to a $206 million decrease in Activision in-game net bookings, driven by lower in-game net bookings from Call of Duty: Vanguard, as compared to Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.
