It’s because Sony has many concerns regarding Call of Duty. The company believes that once the proposed acquisition of Activision by Microsoft is finished, the latter will gain an unassailable advantage in the industry. But Microsoft is constantly trying to assure Sony that there won’t be a situation like this at all. In fact, the Windows maker recently came up with another offer to remove all the doubts.
Microsoft is willing to offer Call of Duty on Sony’s PlayStation Plus subscription service
According to media outlet Bloomberg, Microsoft has reportedly offered Sony the right to include Call of Duty on its revamped PlayStation Plus service. In a way, this is an addition to the deal by Microsoft to provide the action franchise on multiple platforms like Nintendo, Steam, and PlayStation for a period of at least 10 years.
One of the biggest reasons behind this move from the Xbox maker might be the objections raised by US’s FTC. Now, Microsoft is seemingly trying to appease the agency by making more offers to Sony in order to make it agree on the $68.7 billion Activision deal.

As claimed by Bloomberg, in its recent report, Microsoft has offered this new concession in addition to its previous offer of making Call of Duty available on PlayStation consoles for an entire decade. Xbox boss Phil Spencer revealed a few days ago that the company has already committed to Nintendo to make the franchise available on the future consoles of the Japanese giant for a duration of 10 years.
