Call of Duty UK Regulator Decision

Call of Duty will remain on PlayStation, at least for the next 10 years.

Following Microsoft's victory in the legal battle with the FTC over the Activision-Blizzard acquisition, Sony has signed a new agreement to ensure the franchise stays on its consoles. Xbox head Phil Spencer announced the "binding agreement" between the two companies, emphasizing Microsoft's commitment to addressing regulatory concerns and expanding Call of Duty's availability across multiple platforms.

Although specific details of the deal have not been disclosed, it is speculated to be similar to the 10-year agreement Microsoft made with Nintendo earlier in the year. However, there is no expectation of any PlayStation-exclusive content resulting from this deal, such as timed exclusive game modes or maps. Also, Stephen Totilo from Axios said that the Sony Call of Duty deal is indeed for 10 years, mirroring the arrangement Nintendo made.
