Following the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, Microsoft has secured a contract to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation, according to Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer’s tweet on Sunday. Concerns about the acquisition’s effect on competition might be eased further by an agreement to maintain Call of Duty on PlayStation. Microsoft President Brad Smith commented on the arrangement in a tweet, writing, “Even after we cross the finish line for this deal’s approval, we will remain focused on ensuring that Call of Duty remains available on more platforms and for more consumers than ever before.” The FTC had argued the deal would harm consumers regardless of whether they subscribed to services or played video games on consoles because Microsoft would have an incentive to exclude competitors like Sony Group. To address the FTC’s worries, Microsoft had promised to licence “Call of Duty” to rivals, including a 10-year agreement with Nintendo, subject to the merger’s completion.
