An examination of records submitted to the United Kingdom’s CMA regulatory organisation in 2022 resulted in an intriguing report this year. A combination of announcements, the first of which said that Sony had unique access to Call of Duty until 2027, and the second of which stated that Sony would have privileged access to Call of Duty until its next system release, leading to speculation of a 2027 release date for the PlayStation 6. Yet, it is not always the case.
With speculations of a 2027 release date for the PlayStation 6 circulating again, Reddit user Cyshox drew attention to a crucial point. They specifically point out that the papers state that Sony will release its next system after the Call of Duty pact expires in 2027. If the Call of Duty arrangement extended until 2027, with Call of Duty normally launching in November, a 2027 PlayStation 6 launch would be unrealistic.
