In an effort to buy Activision Blizzard and convince global competition authorities that it was good for gamers, Microsoft did its best to secure contracts with various companies that guaranteed them access to Call of Duty and other games in the future.Nintendo and NvidiaIt was two of the companies that signed the agreement, but Sony refused.
CEO of PlayStationjim ryan even inThe EU hearing stated: “I don’t want a new Call of Duty deal. I just want to stop your merge.as we did earlier todayreportAs expected, though, Sony has now signed the deal, which may indicate that they have accepted the fact that Microsoft will acquire Activision Blizzard despite Sony’s attempts to block it.
But as The Verge editor Tom Warren pointed out, that’s not the same deal Sony got last year.This seems to be better for PlayStation in the short term, as it grants “all existing Activision titles on Sonyconsole games, including future editions of the Call of Duty series or any other current Activision franchise on Sony, until December 31, 2027.”
This has now been changed to 2034, but it only includes the Call of Duty series, which might mean new games from franchises like Crash Bandicoot, Diablo, Spyro, StarCraft, or Tony Hawk might skip the PlayStation.
Do you prefer all Activision titles through 2027, or is Sony’s guaranteed decade of Call of Duty the better deal?
