“A Longer Term Commitment…” – Xbox CEO Phil Spencer Finally Clears the Air About Call of Duty’s Relation With Microsoft x Activision Deal And Sony’s Worry About Losing The Game From PlayStation

The rumor that Microsoft is buying one of the largest game development firms, Activision Blizzard, has made headlines in recent months. And this is also why many other companies and firms are worried that, if this happens, not only Xbox could take control of a good portion of the industry, but it would also make PlayStation obsolete.

But now, according to Xbox CEO Phil Spencer, such rumors are baseless, as he clearly stated that Call of Duty is not going away from PlayStation anytime soon during a recent interview .

Call of Duty will not leave the PlayStation, says Xbox CEO

In a recent interview with The Verge, Phil Spencer said that he is absolutely clear that the famed FPS game Call of Duty will remain in PlayStation for the foreseable future. He said, “we think Call of Duty will be on PlayStation as long as players want to play Call of Duty on PlayStation. And that’s not a competitive threat against PlayStation. That’s just a pragmatic way of looking at it.”

“Native Call of Duty on PlayStation not linked to them [Sony] having to carry Game Pass. If they want a streaming version of Call of Duty on the book, we could do that as well just like we do on our own consoles,” Spencer said in an absolutely determined voice.

“There’s nothing behind my back. It is Call of Duty Modern Warfare II doing great on Playstation, during great on Xbox… Sony does not have to take Game Pass on their platform to make that happen. There’s nothing…we want to continue to ship Call of Duty on PlayStation.”

Spencer’s revelation has thus taken care of the allegations of Xbox taking over the PlayStation‘s market by making Activision’s prized possession, the Call of Duty franchise, an exclusive game on Xbox.
