The pharaonic purchase of Activision Blizzard by Microsoft has been generating many doubts since it was announced at the beginning of the year. Most of the doubts that could have been generated, such as the possible exclusivity of Call of Duty on Xbox or the Arrival of Activision Blizzard games on Xbox Game Pass, seemed to have been clarified in recent months. But apparently, Phil Spencer has had to go out again to talk about everything related to said acquisition through a blog via microsoftmaking it clear whether it will end up being Call of Duty exclusive on Xbox or not.
The head of Xbox has confirmed that the arrival of Activision Blizzard games on Xbox Game Pass, including Call of Duty, Overwatch and Diablo will be a reality as said acquisition becomes effective, which Sony already considers closed, despite the recent clash with the United Kingdom, which seems to be worried. In addition to this, it has already been confirmed that Call of Duty would continue to be multiplatform in the company of other great sagasat least until the existing agreements were finalized, but it seems that, at least with Call of Duty, there will be no tutoring.
Will the arrival of Call of Duty on Game Pass bring more players to Xbox?
Will Call of Duty end up being Xbox exclusive? Phil Spencer replies
As we said before, we promise that the same version of Call of Duty is available on PlayStation the same day the game is released elsewhere. We will continue to allow people to play with each other across platforms and devices. We know gamers benefit from this approach because we’ve done it with Minecraft, which continues to be available on multiple platforms and has expanded further since Mojang joined Microsoft in 2014.
Call of Duty, one of the most valuable franchises in history and very soon on Xbox, you will see how your new games arrive on the same day of launch on PlayStation, regardless of whether Redmond owns them. Once again, Microsoft shows its transparency and place in this absurd console fight. We don’t know what will happen with the rest of the franchises, but Call of Duty fans on PlayStation can rest easy, although it’s never too late to get the Xbox Series X, the most powerful console on the market, in addition to Game Pass, which will have all new Call of Duty games day one on the service.
