Amazon.com (AMZN) to Publish Next James Bond Video Games After MGM Deal

Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) announced on Friday, June 5, 2026, it will publish future James Bond video games, leveraging its ownership of the film franchise to expand its gaming division. The move follows Amazon’s $8.5 billion acquisition of MGM in 2022, which secured rights to the Bond films. Amazon Games will now develop and publish titles under the intellectual property, ending a prior licensing agreement with Activision Blizzard. No financial terms or release timeline were disclosed. The announcement signals Amazon’s deepening bet on AAA game development and long-term monetization of the MGM library, as it competes with platforms like Netflix and Microsoft in subscription-based gaming.
