The newly revealed agreement would seem to indicate that Sony is no longer going to fight Microsoft over its plan to acquire Activision Blizzard for $69 billion, which could close very soon.
It looks like Sony is flying the white flag in its attempts to try to keep Microsoft from buying Activision Blizzard. This morning, it was announced that Microsoft and Sony have signed an agreement that will keep the huge Call of Duty franchise on Sony’s PlayStation consoles after Microsoft’s purchase of Activision Blizzard is completed.
The news was posted by Xbox head Phil Spencer on his Twitter account. He did not offer any specifics on this deal, including how long it will last or if any money was exchanged. He did state: „We look forward to a future where players globally have more choice to play their favorite games.“
Microsoft President Brad Smith issued his own comment on Twitter.
