ActivisionWith Microsoft\u2019s reported acquisition of Activision Blizzard, many players have had a multitude of questions about what happens to the publisher\u2019s games in the future. One of the main questions is, will COD be exclusive on Xbox after the purchase goes through? After Microsoft\u2019s acquisition of Activision Blizzard moved closer to completion on Tuesday, July 11, with a US judge shooting down the FTC\u2019s attempt to block it, players of games from both companies have been discussing what exactly it could mean down the line. The major topic of discussion has been around Call of Duty, as one of the biggest gaming franchises in the world, and how that may change when under Microsoft\u2019s control. The biggest concern, though, is coming from non-Xbox players, who are worried that they might have to switch platforms if they want to play Call of Duty in the future. Will COD become Xbox exclusive? In short, no, Call of Duty will not be exclusive to Xbox \u2014 at least in the immediate future, even when the Microsoft takeover goes through. The company has frequently reiterated that they have no intention of making the franchise an Xbox exclusive, and that it will also be on PlayStation no matter what. That doesn\u2019t mean things can\u2019t change down the line, but for now, it definitely seems unlikely that PS4\/5 players will have to make the switch to keep playing COD.
