A Microsoft’s purchase of Activision Blizzard has given you a lot to talk about. And if this is good news for users of Xbox consoles and the Xbox Game Pass subscription service, on the Sony side there is fear that the creator’s great games will no longer be available for multiple platforms.
But PlayStation players can already breathe a sigh of relief as Phil Spencer, head of the Xbox division and vice president of Microsoft’s gaming division, has already assured that the Redmond company will not make the popular Call of Duty saga exclusive to Xbox and that the intention is for the title to remain on Sony’s console.
Call of Duty won't be Xbox exclusive, says Microsoft's Phil Spencer
If you are a fan and user of Sony's PlayStation consoles, then there is now good news to rest you after the fears that arise after Microsoft's purchase of Activision Blizzard. Phil Spencer confirmed through a post on his official Twitter account that the Call of Duty title will continue to be developed for PlayStation consoles.
In the tweet, the head of the Xbox division and vice president of the games division at Microsoft guarantees that the intention is to honor all existing agreements after the acquisition of Activision Blizzard and the desire is to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation.
Had good calls this week with leaders at Sony. I confirmed our intent to honor all existing agreements upon acquisition of Activision Blizzard and our desire to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation. Sony is an important part of our industry, and we value our relationship.

like here we mentioned, one of the apprehensions of the Japanese giant was that with this purchase Microsoft would limit great Activision games only to Xbox consoles, and not keep them for multiplatform. Following the announcement of the acquisition, Sony shares They fell by more than 12%.
But now it is known that at least the popular war game, which has always been a hit on PlayStation, will continue to be playable by players on Sony consoles.
