Xbox lead Phil Spencer: `We want to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation`
(Windows Phone Central)

One question is answered. This week, Microsoft revealed its blockbuster acquisition of Activision Blizzard King (ABK) for $70 billion dollars. ABK are responsible for some of the industry`s biggest franchises, including World of Warcraft, Overwatch, and Call of Duty. The acquisition sent shockwaves through the industry, leading to questions about exactly how the new `Microsoft Gaming` division would handle such a large purchase. Today, one of the questions was answered. In a tweet, CEO of Microsoft Gaming and leader of Xbox Phil Spencer signaled Microsoft`s intent to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation, emphasizing that they see Sony as a partner in the wider gaming industry. Had good calls this week with leaders at Sony. I confirmed our intent to honor all existing agreements upon acquisition of Activision Blizzard and our desire to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation. Sony is an important part of our industry, and we value our relationship.— Phil Spencer (@XboxP3) January 20, 2022 ...
