A California judge has approved video game company Activision Blizzard’s settlement Tuesday with the U.S Equal Employment Opportunity Commission settling the federal lawsuit against the entertainment giant.

Within the settlement, which was first announced in September,  Activision Blizzard agreed to create an $18 million fund to compensate employees who experienced sexual harassment and gender-based discrimination. Employees who worked at the company between September 1st, 2016, and Tuesday, March 29th, can submit claims for compensation.

Additionally, Activision Blizzard has agreed to bring in a neutral third-party employment opportunity consultant approved by the EEOC and continue to enhance its policies and training to prevent harassment and discrimination in the workplace.

In a press release, Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick stated,

The agreement we reached with the EEOC last year reflected our unwavering commitment to ensure a safe and equitable working environment for all employees. Our goal is to make Activision Blizzard a model for the industry, and we will continue to focus on eliminating harassment and discrimination from our workplace. The court’s approval of this settlement is an important step in ensuring that our employees have mechanisms for recourse if they experienced any form of harassment or retaliation.

Activision Blizzard is still facing separate lawsuits from the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing and former employees over their alleged workplace gender-based harassment and discrimination.

The settlement may help reduce risk after Microsoft recently announced its plans to acquire Activision Blizzard in a $68.7 billion deal, the largest U.S. technology deal to date.
