Sony signs agreement with MS to keep COD on PS

[John Elden Ring]

Sony has agreed to a deal for Call of Duty with Microsoft to keep the franchise on PlayStation after the proposed Activision Blizzard acquisition. Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer says Sony and Microsoft have agreed to a “binding agreement” to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation. It’s not immediately clear if this is a 10-year deal, like Microsoft has signed with Nintendo and other cloud providers.

This ends a bitter battle between the companies that has been waged both privately and publicly over the past year after Microsoft announced its proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard in January 2022.

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. We look forward to a future where players globally have more choice to play their favorite games.

Lol well this is interesting.

But the sleazeball won't say for how many years. They truth is they don't want COD to remain on PS for long.

 

[Banana]

Of course the terms are worse now.

You’re stupid just a them for believing that.

Sony is fucking stupid. Wow.

Exactly what do you propose they do at this point?

 

[Systemshock2023]

Is in Microsoft best interest to keep COD on as many platforms as possible

 

[Johnic]

Bend over and take it. They should have signed the proposal before like Nintendo did.

Yeah, sign a shitty deal without even trying to fight it.

Exactly what do you propose they do at this point?

Wait until the CMA does it’s final decision? And even then they still shouldn’t sign any “deal” with fucking MS. COD will be leaving PlayStation regardless.

Oh and about all those other Activision games? Yeah good luck with that being on PlayStation anymore either.

 

[Fenton]

There's nothing they can do.

Yeah unfortunately the IP is just too strong. Nothing can take its place and it prints money on a yearly basis without fail. PS exclusives don't have this power.

It's entirely likely that behind the scenes, MS, the CMA and Sony already know what's gonna happen in the next couple of days.

Shame. Should made exclusive. And let xbox die

CMA has to make a decision first. So your point makes no sense.

 

[kuzon]

Isn’t this just the existing deal that was offered by Brad smith that included all abk games ?

 

[Umar]

Welp Jim folded

I hope this is another case of Phil Spencer going public with something he’s not suppose to.

 

[kuzon]

It’s probably just this
