Microsoft has made a new offer to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation platforms, while Sony has met this new offer with a total rejection. Through new documents, Microsoft has developed a proposal that guarantees the game's presence on PlayStation platforms until the end of 2027.
Microsoft has published a documentation booklet that consists of 38 pages It provides clarification on the need to complete the $70 million deal to acquire Activision Blizzard. Where it clarified in these documents the positive repercussions on the video game industry in the event of its completion, as well as clarified the fate of the Call of Duty game on platforms outside of Xbox.
These official documents have confirmed to us two points that many may have doubted in the past, and they are, the first is that Sony has already rejected this offer through the head of the PlayStation division. Jim Ryan. The second point that worries Sony is that, after this offer ends, at the end of 2027, Microsoft wants to convert the Call of Duty game to become an exclusive on Xbox platforms.
What's surprising about these documents, according to what tweaktown has seen, is that Microsoft has no intention, after the deal is completed, of removing the Call of Duty game from external platforms, which contradicts this new offer. Perhaps the point is that Microsoft doesn't want to remove old titles from external platforms, while new titles that will arrive after 2027 will become exclusive to Xbox platforms.
In any case, this offer was completely rejected by Sony, but the final word is left to the market watchdogs and anti-monopoly bodies that are still considering the consequences of this agreement, which are being studied in depth, and some crucial decisions may not be released until early next year 2023.
In the meantime, we do not believe that Sony will give up on preventing the completion of this deal and allowing Microsoft to hijack the Call of Duty title from PlayStation platforms, until it obtains guarantees to ensure this.
