Xbox boss Phil Spencer has made Microsoft's plainest promise yet around the future of Call of Duty on PlayStation platforms.Youtube channel, Spencer pledged to keep releasing Call of Duty games on Sony's consoles"as long as there's a PlayStation out there to ship to".

with Activision Blizzard. Still, regulators have questioned how long this will actually last, if and when Activision Blizzard is owned by Microsoft."We're not taking Call of Duty from PlayStation... That's not our intent," Spencer said."Our intent is not to do that and as long as there's a PlayStation out there to ship to, our intent is that we'll continue to ship Call of Duty on PlayStation - similar to what we've done with Minecraft since we owned that.

Another issue for regulators has been the competitive advantage Microsoft might gain from including Call of Duty in its Game Pass subscription service. "For Xbox itself, players who have invested in our console, the biggest addition you're going to see is some great games coming to Game Pass," Spencer continued, without mentioning Call of Duty specifically by name."This isn't going to be about pulling those communities off of those other platforms. But I want it to be a great place to see those games.

Words are cheap, put it in writing.

Put that in writing. Also, CoD should be allowed on psplus. Thats what all this is going to have to come down to. Thank god for the CMA. they recognize Phil Spencer is not to be trusted. In writing please.

Shots fired (pun intended)

Xbox trying to use Manipulative Propaganda for Activision acquisition No no

“Intends”

As long theres a playstation to ship to, so that means bankruptcy actually will happen lolol

MS buys playstation, I guarantee it..

I mean yeah I don’t know how many times they have to say it it’s pretty sad 😂😂

is that a promise or a threat?

Oof. The shade

Good. It’s the only way to play CoD without forced crossplay.

Then put that into a contact then Phil...

Sure they will

if you like a game, buy the platform the game is released on. we've been doing this for years with Zelda, it's not exactly a new thing.

Not surprised that the comments are full of Sony simps lol be grateful you get to keep cod on your box

Promises like these are useless unless there are ironclad contracts that bind Microsoft to this commitment. What Microsoft offered Sony wasn't remotely that either so that instantly sows doubt.

Really comes off as a threat 😂

Cod confirmed for original playstation then?

This feels like something a villain would say before destroying every single PlayStation in a synchronized remote detonation

Appeasing the regulators really, not Sony. They know they’re facing a uphill battle given the negative comments the regulators have said regarding Microsoft having control of such a large part of the market of games.

They’ve been saying this for months and yet people keep losing their minds.
