Microsoft has signed an settlement to maintain Call of Duty on PlayStation following the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer mentioned in a tweet on Sunday.
A deal to maintain Call of Duty on Playstation might additional ease considerations surrounding the acquisition’s affect on competitors.
Speaking on the settlement, Microsoft President Brad Smith mentioned in a tweet, “Even after we cross the finish line for this deal’s approval, we will remain focused on ensuring that Call of Duty remains available on more platforms and for more consumers than ever before.”
The FTC had argued the deal would harm shoppers whether or not they performed video video games on consoles or had subscriptions as a result of Microsoft would have an incentive to close out rivals like Sony Group.
To handle the FTC’s considerations, Microsoft had earlier agreed to license “Call of Duty” to rivals, together with a 10-year contract with Nintendo, contingent on the merger closing.
