Microsoft has offered to keep Call of Duty on the PlayStation for another 10 years. Sony declined to comment on this particular claim. ..
According to PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan, Microsoft only offered to offer Call of Duty on the PlayStation platform for three more years after its existing contract expired. This claim has not been independently verified.
Xbox boss Phil Spencer has repeatedly stated that Xbox will not pull the Call of Duty franchise from PlayStation. After the deal, Spencer emphasized in an interview with The New York Times that the subject of his first phone call with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella was to reach out to Sony and promise to keep the franchise on PlayStation.
The consulting firm, which was hired by Sony, said that the merger would harm the video game industry and its consumers.
The consultancy firm’s allegations were also used elsewhere, prompting the CMA to investigate the deal further. If the merger goes through, Microsoft plans to add franchises like Call of Duty, Overwatch, and Diablo to the Xbox Game Pass subscription service. Completion of the contract is scheduled for June 2023.
