PlayStation will only get CoD for 3 years after current deal, CEO slams Xbox offer ActivisionMicrosoft CEO Phil Spencer promised CoD would be on PlayStation for \u201cseveral more years,\u201d but PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan came out and \u201cset the record straight.\u201d Xbox is still awaiting a decision on its nearly $70 billion Activision Blizard acquisition, but that didn\u2019t stop Phil Spencer from making bold proclamations if the deal goes through. Spencer claimed, \u201cWe are committed to making the same version of Call of Duty available on PlayStation on the same day the game launches elsewhere.\u201d In a statement to the Verge, Spencer signed an agreement with Sony in January to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation for \u201cseveral more years,\u201d and the Microsoft executive called it \u201can offer that goes well beyond typical gaming industry agreements. \u201c However, PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan refuted that characterization of the deal, calling it \u201cinadequate on many levels.\u201d PlayStation CEO calls out Xbox over CoD agreement In a statement to GamesIndustryBiz, Ryan claimed Spencer only guaranteed Call of Duty on PlayStation for three years after the current CoD and Sony deal ends. PlayStation has had exclusive marketing rights with Call of Duty since 2014. Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier confirmed PlayStation\u2019s deal runs through at least Modern Warfare 2, CoD 2023, and Warzone 2 in 2023. Ryan said \u201c[a]fter almost 20 years of Call of Duty on PlayStation, their proposal was inadequate on many levels and failed to take account of the impact on our gamers. We want to guarantee PlayStation gamers continue to have the highest quality Call of Duty experience, and Microsoft\u2019s proposal undermines this principle.\u201d There is no concrete timeline for Xbox\u2019s acquisition of Activision Blizard, as several roadblocks still stand in the landmark deal\u2019s way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
