The acquisition of Activision-Blizzard by Microsoft continues to be a source of concern for certain sectors of the video game world. Unsurprisingly, many people and companies are very attentive to all movements as to whether the purchase is approved or not, although initially, everything seems to be going well and it can be approved sooner rather than later.
Regarding all this and as it is logical, Phil Spencer wants to play down the matter and make it known that the rest of the companies will not lose when this purchase becomes effective. Sony is the most alert and for this reason it has been trying for a while hinder or give reasons
Phil Spencer is not switching to PlayStation
It became very clear that the head of Xbox has always been against console wars, he even stated that he was looking forward to playing the new installment of God of War. Perhaps that’s one of the reasons it wants to continue bringing one of the biggest and best-known games in the world to the Sony platform. Another reason is that the sales generated by the game on PlayStation will also benefit Microsoft
Something totally logical, since if you want to make the entire catalog of games exclusive, you would need a huge number of players to make it profitable.
In January, we handed over a signed agreement to Sony to ensure that Call of Duty continues to come to PlayStation for several years beyond what they have in the current contract. An offer that goes far beyond the typical agreements that are usually concluded in the video game industry.
As you can see the companies aren’t being stupid, this would be a deal that benefits both companies, so this could be a turning point for Sony to keep calm. They would continue to enjoy deliveries like Call of Duty and Microsoft would increase their revenue, which never hurts.
In addition to all this, remember that once the purchase was approved, Phil Spencer confirmed that deliveries as Diablo, Overwatch, CoD itself and more They would come directly to the Xbox Game Pass catalog.

Passionate about video games since I can remember, everyone would say that I was born with a controller under my arm. I’m not put off by anything from shooters to driving to RPGs to platformers.
