But Microsoft tackled the situation with a positive announcement that wiped the worry off everyone’s faces.

As it happens, the next few Call of Duty titles will definitely show up on PlayStation consoles. In addition to the same, a new leak claimed something very exciting for PlayStation fans looking to play the upcoming Modern Warfare II on a PS5 or a PS4!
