Since the start of the Activision acquisition deal, Microsoft has continued to emphasize the launch of Call of Duty on PlayStation. And today, the Xbox boss is back to confirm it in person via a Federal Trade Commission hearing on Microsoft's deal with Activision.

During the hearing, Spencer was asked about the shooting and reminded that he was under oath. His response was as follows:

I will do whatever it takes. We don't have a plan. I promise you right here on my feet that we will not pull Call of Duty from PlayStation - that is my testimony - Sony should allow us to release the game on their platform. But in the absence of any of that, my commitment and my testimony is that we will continue to ship future versions of Call of Duty on Sony's PlayStation 5.

The interesting thing is that Spencer said at the beginning of the oath “PlayStation”, but at the end he specified the subject, where he said “PlayStation 5”. This commitment of his is limited only to the current generation of Sony, while there is no guarantee for the release of the next Call of Duty games on the following PlayStation platforms!!

We can't say for sure, but we're going to be more open and deal with the matter in good faith from both us and Spencer that he doesn't intend to commit to releasing the Call of Duty game only on current gen.

Another comment from Spencer to The Verge was that removing Call of Duty from PlayStation would cause irreparable damage to the Xbox brand. Spencer also commented on reports of the game malfunctioning on PlayStation platforms and releasing a better version on Xbox platforms, where he said that this matter would harm Microsoft's reputation and business revenue.

One of the deals Microsoft offered Sony was to keep the Call of Duty game on PlayStation platforms for 10 years from the moment the deal was completed. Of course, Sony completely rejected this deal, he said. Jim Ryan The PlayStation boss said that wasn't enough, while Nintendo and Nvidia agreed.

It remains to be seen what the FTC might do after these hearings, especially since its next decision could determine the fate of the deal once and for all.
