Microsoft has signed an agreement with Sony to keep the Call of Duty video game series on the PlayStation console after the tech giant acquires video game maker Activision Blizzard.
FILE - Visitors passing an advertisement for the video game 'Call of Duty' at the Gamescom fair for computer games in Cologne, Germany, Aug. 22, 2017. Microsoft has signed an agreement with Sony to keep the Call of Duty video game series on PlayStation following the tech giants acquisition of the video game maker Activision Blizzard. The announcement was made Sunday, July 16, 2023 in a Twitter post by Phil Spencer, who heads up Microsofts Xbox.
“We look forward to a future where players globally have more choice to play their favorite games,” Spencer said in the post. As it tried to persuade regulators around the world to approved the deal, Microsoft pledged that Call of Duty would appear on Nintendo’s Switch console, Nvidia’s cloud gaming service and other platforms for at least a decade. Until now, Sony hadn’t been officially part of that list.
Microsoft struck the deal for Activision in January of 2022 in hopes of expanding its video game imprint beyond Xbox, which has less market share than longtime industry leader Sony and its PlayStation device. The company has been seeking regulatory approval in the U.S. and aboard over the past few months, but it’s been trailed by objections from Sony, which feared losing access to what it describes as a “must-have” game title.
