Microsoft enters a binding agreement with Sony for a 10-year Call of Duty deal for PlayStation

Per The Verge

Fans of Call of Duty will be able to play the game on PlayStation as Sony signed a 10-year deal with Microsoft. This comes as Microsoft, which owns the Xbox consoles, is allowing the game to be played on PlayStation.

The deal would take effect even after the proposed Activision Blizzard acquisition. Phil Spencer, the head of Xbox, gave a statement regarding the situation, saying they've entered a binding agreement for the game to be available even on the competing platform.

Spencer: "We are pleased to announce that Microsoft and @PlayStation have signed a binding agreement to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation following the acquisition of Activision Blizzard. We look forward to a future where players globally have more choice to play their favorite games."

Kari Perez, Xbox's head of global communications, also confirmed the existence of the 10-year commitment to The Verge.

Just recently, it was announced that Microsoft had won a US court nod that would allow it to buy Activision for $69 billion. This resulted in the FTC losing its attempts to block the purchase.

It was also recently announced that men aged 15 to 24 were gaming the highest amount ever, with the average time spent for this age group being 3.82 hours daily in 2022.
