Microsoft and SEGA, just announced a decision to collaborate on any further gaming developments together. SEGA and Microsoft have formed an "alliance," aiming to use their strengths to help both companies with future projects going forward.
Gaming companies working together to reach similar goals isn't anything too new. Nintendo and Microsoft have a rather close relationship which brings many good benefits to tons of players, such as how Banjo-Kazooie is coming to Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack in the future. While this may seem like SEGA is being acquired by Microsoft, it's only for both parties' development environments.
The partnership deals with SEGA communicating with Microsoft, using its cloud-based Microsoft Azure service to assist with the development of the company's future titles. According to Windows Central, SEGA "has been a tremendous partner" to Microsoft according to the company's vice president, and it's looking forward to "creating unique gaming experiences using Microsoft cloud technologies" alongside its new partner.
