Microsoft announced an “agreement” to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation

Phil Spencer has announced that Microsoft and PlayStation have signed a binding agreement to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation following Activision’s acquisition of Blizzard. While little is yet known about the terms of the agreement and its duration, it removes one of the biggest obstacles to Microsoft’s protracted acquisition of the Call of Duty publisher.

Yesterday, a U.S. court denied a motion by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to further halt Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard, paving the way for its completion.
Earlier this week, Xbox won a court victory against the FTC, which had tried to block the deal on antitrust grounds. Microsoft can now finalize the deal after an existing restraining order expired on Friday.
