Sony is talking for the first time about the next PlayStation, or PS6, and it seems that it has already started making plans for the titles that will be released in its time. This came through Sony's statement today, which explains to the European Antimonopoly Authority the consequences of the completion of the acquisition of Activision by Microsoft.

In a statement, Sony said Microsoft has offered a deal to release Call of Duty on PlayStation devices through 2027. The game could be pulled before then if that makes sense for Microsoft.

But here's the important part for us in this statement, which is that Sony stated that when the new generation of PlayStation devices is released, the game Call of Duty will not be available on the device, and this will lead many gamers to switch to a competing platform. As stated in the following statement:

When SIE launches its next-generation PlayStation console, which is likely to be released around [محتوى مقصوص], it would have lost access to Call of Duty and other Activision games, leaving it highly vulnerable to consumer switching and the subsequent deterioration of its competitiveness.

When addressing the next generation of PlayStation devices, Sony wanted to highlight the problem that could arise in the event of this agreement being concluded, since the PS6 will be launched without one of the strongest titles that have always played an important role in the sales of its platforms in global markets.

Of course, Sony doesn't want this to happen, so it is in the process of firmly opposing the conclusion of this deal to ensure the continued release of the Call of Duty game on its upcoming devices.

Furthermore, this appears as a clear indication that Sony will not launch the PS6 before 2028, that is, 5 years from now and 7 years since the launch of the current generation.

This isn't the first time Sony has touched on the next generation of PlayStation devices, as it previously reserved the PS6 and beyond trademark to ensure it remains its property when the device launches in the future.

Do you think Sony will be able to secure the release of Call of Duty on PlayStation 6?
