Microsoft and Sony sign deal to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation

Call of Duty will stay on PlayStation in a deal between Sony and Microsoft, ending a fight over its future.

It comes after a US judge rejected calls to block Microsoft from taking over games publisher Activision Blizzard.

Microsoft’s Phil Spencer said the tech giants agreed to a “binding agreement” to keep Call of Duty on the gaming platform.

Players would have “more choice”, he said.

Mr Spencer signalled the development on Sunday, bringing to an end a protracted battle between the two companies since Microsoft announced its intended acquisition of Activision Blizzard in early 2022.
