PlayStation signs deal with Microsoft over Call of Duty

It's finally happened.

PlayStation has signed a deal with Microsoft to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation following Xbox’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard.

Xbox head Phil Spencer took to Twitter with the news.

“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,” Spencer wrote.

“We look forward to a future where players globally have more choice to play their favourite games,” he continued.

While Spencer didn’t detail the dead, it’s assumed it’s for ten years, much like an additional pledge by Microsoft to keep Call of Duty on Nintendo platforms.

Microsoft is close to finalising its acquisition of Activision Blizzard following a failed attempt by the US’ FTC to block it. Microsoft still has work to do with the UK’s CMA.
