BRUSSELS : EU antitrust regulators on Monday cleared Microsoft Corp's $69 billion acquisition of Activision, saying remedies offered by the U.S. software giant addressed their concerns.

"The commitments fully address the competition concerns identified by the Commission and represent a significant improvement for cloud gaming as compared to the current situation," the EU competition watchdog said in a statement.
