Roblox – a newcomer briefly shakes up the market
(Formerly) indie gaming company Roblox Corporation started trading publicly on March 10, 2021, and closed its first day of trading activity with a market cap of over 37 billion U.S. dollars, ahead of several well-established industry heavyweights. After a significant decline throughout 2022 and 2023, Roblox Corporation was still ranked among the biggest gaming companies worldwide, with a market cap of 23.89 billion U.S. dollars in April 2024.
Activision Blizzard – a giant exits the stage
A summer of litigation caused Activision Blizzard's value to drop and the company to be relegated to second place with a market cap of nearly 46.98 billion U.S. dollars in October 2021 before bouncing back to 67.06 billion U.S. dollars in early 2023. Microsoft purchased the company in January 2022 in one of the biggest video game acquisitions of all time. After months of negotiations with regulatory bodies around the world, the deal was finalized in October 2023, and the company was taken off the market.
