In addition to ensuring that Call of Duty games will have a PlayStation version in the next 10 years, Microsoft will be able to allow them to access PlayStation Plus, Sony’s service on their consoles.
This new concession is being made by Bloomberg, which anticipates the offer made as part of an effort by Microsoft to try to get approval to buy Activision Blizzard and avoid costly confrontations with the FTC in the United States.
Sony, anticipates Bloomberg, has not yet responded to the deal that Microsoft is willing to make and continues to fight to avoid the purchase of the largest third party in the sector, which owns properties such as Crash Bandicoot, Diablo, Overwatch, Tony Hawk , World of Warcraft and Call of Duty. This surname is used by Sony as the main argument in its opposition.
Microsoft’s deal to put Call of Duty games on PlayStation Plus could upend one of the main arguments Sony has been using, centered around getting games in the series directly into Game Pass and how this could drive players away from their console.
