Sony and Microsoft have signed an agreement that will keep Call of Duty available on PlayStation for the next 10 years.
Last week, the FTC lost its case against Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard and its subsequent appeal. This effectively paves the way for Microsoft to complete its purchase of the Call of Duty maker, save for its ongoing wrinkle with the Competition and Markets Authority, the regulatory agency in the U.K. Now, Microsoft has announced that it and Sony have signed a binding agreement to keep Activision Blizzard’s flagship franchise, Call of Duty, on the PlayStation platform for 10 years.
“We are pleased to announce that Microsoft and PlayStation have signed a binding agreement to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation following the acquisition of Activision Blizzard,” Xbox head Phil Spencer tweeted Weekend. “We look forward to a future where players globally have more choice to play their favorite games.”
Microsoft and @PlayStation After Activision Blizzard was acquired, we have signed a legally binding agreement to keep Call of Duty for PlayStation. We are looking forward to a world where players have a greater choice of games to choose from.
