Microsoft will retain Call of Duty on PlayStation for ‘several more years’ when the current agreement expires

Microsoft has committed to continue Call of Duty on PlayStation for “many more years” beyond Sony’s current marketing agreement with Activision. Microsoft Gaming CEO and Xbox boss Phil Spencer made the assurance in a written letter to PlayStation president Jim Ryan earlier this year, and it’s the strongest indication yet that Call of Duty would not vanish from PlayStation platforms if Microsoft’s $68.7 billion acquisition is approved by regulators.

It’s unclear how long Call of Duty will be available on PlayStation, although early rumors stated earlier this year that Microsoft was committed to distributing the game on PlayStation “for at least the next two years,” implying that Sony’s marketing arrangement for the brand may end in 2024.
