Xbox boss Phil Spencer confirms that Microsoft gave Sony a signed agreement guaranteeing Call of Duty on PlayStation “for at least several more years.”We know Microsoft intends to add Call of Duty — along with Overwatch and more — to Xbox Game Pass if its acquisition of Activision Blizzard goes ahead, but it also still intends for Call of Duty to continue on PlayStation “for at least several more years,” with Spencer confirming that Sony had been guaranteed as much with a signed agreement.Microsoft guaranteed Call of Duty on PlayStation “for at least several more years”“In January, we provided a signed agreement to Sony to guarantee Call of Duty on PlayStation, with feature and content parity, for at least several more years beyond the current Sony contract, an offer that goes well beyond typical gaming industry agreements,” Spencer said to The Verge.We still don’t know exactly how long this guarantee will last for, but it’s interesting to hear details of how Microsoft plans to handle the acquisition of Activision Blizzard if it goes ahead. Recently, the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority expressed concerns over this acquisition and how it could potentially harm rivals. In a later blog post, Spencer stated that Microsoft will “continue to engage with regulators with a spirit of transparency and openness as they review this acquisition.”What do you think about Microsoft’s plans, and its guarantee to bring Call of Duty to PlayStation “for at least several more years”?
