Sony Interactive Entertainment will acquire videogame developer Bungie Inc in a deal valued at $3.6 billion, the companies said on Monday, making this the third deal this month in a fast consolidating gaming sector.
Bellevue, Washington-based Bungie, which worked on the Halo videogame series, split with Microsoft Corp and became a privately held company in 2007.
The deal follows Microsoft's nearly $70 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard and Take-Two's deal to buy Zynga this month.
Bungie has worked on a number popular gaming titles including "Marathon", "Myth" and "Destiny."
