Microsoft Activision Deal Scores UK Win - Dark Horizons
Mar 26, 2023 50 secs
The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority previously was sceptical of Microsoft’s promises to keep the “Call of Duty” military shooter franchise available on PlayStation consoles for years to come.

At the time they indicated Xbox could have a financial incentive to pull the blockbuster series from the platform in the future.

Making the “Call of Duty” game series exclusive to Xbox would lose Microsoft so much money that there is no incentive for them to do so.

Previously Microsoft has been offering a ten-year deal to Sony that would see the ‘Duty’ franchise available on the console throughout the PS5’s entire life and almost all of a potential PS6’s life should the console refresh cycle stick to the usual seven years.

Microsoft also still needs to get approval from European regulators and deal with an antitrust lawsuit by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.

Even so, stocks in Activision have already rallied to the news – hitting some of their highest numbers in months.
