The exclusivity of Call of Duty has been one of the most controversial issues that have arisen after the purchase of Activision Blizzard by Microsoft. Despite the fact that Xbox owners have mentioned that this will not be the case, several government investigations, players and even Sony, have several doubts about it. Now it has been revealed that Phil Spencer directly assured Jim Ryan, CEO of SIE, that Call of Duty will remain on their consoles for several more years.
In a new statement to The Verge, Phil Spencer, head of Xbox, revealed that earlier in the year, when the purchase of Activision Blizzard was announced, he wrote a letter to Ryan, where promised him that Call of Duty will come to PlayStation consoles for the next few yearsAlthough he did not give an exact date. This was what he commented:
“In January, we provided a signed deal to Sony to guarantee Call of Duty on PlayStation, with parity of features and content, for at least several years beyond Sony’s current contract, an offer that goes far beyond typical PlayStation deals. the industry”.
Although official information is still limited, previous reports have indicated that the contract between Activision and Sony ensures that at least the next two games will arrive on PlayStation, so we would be talking about 2024. However, Spencer’s recent revelation could well indicate that this has extended beyond the previous period noted.
In related topics, Phil Spencer talks about the progress of the purchase. Similarly, the United Kingdom begins a serious investigation into this acquisition.
Editor’s Note:
Although this can be seen as a positive message, it is also somewhat strange that this information is released just when various investigations continue to question previous Xbox statements, and they do not doubt that Call of Duty will become exclusive. Although Spencer’s new statements indicate that this will not happen soon, the possibility that this will happen in the future is not ruled out either.
