Microsoft has reportedly offered Sony the rights to Call of Duty on PS Plus

The reported offer has been made on top of an as-yet not accepted deal to keep the CoD franchise on PlayStation consoles for 10 years

have been confirmed as exclusive titles since Microsoft bought the studio’s parent company, ZeniMax, in 2021.

Tensions have seemingly been rising between Microsoft and Sony in recent weeks, with Phil Spencer saying in an interview with the podcastthat Sony’s opposition to the acquisition is due to the company “trying to protect their dominance on console, and the way they grow is by making Xbox smaller.” “Because Sony’s leading all of the dialogue around why this deal shouldn’t go through, the thing they grab onto is Call of Duty,” Spencer said during the interview, commenting on the singling out of the Call of Duty franchise as a major argument in opposing the merger.

By promising Sony that it can offer Call of Duty games on its PS Plus subscription service, Microsoft is doubling down on its efforts to convince naysayers that the proposed acquisition will benefit gamers rather than hinder them and that it can be trusted not to deprive Activision’s existing player base of one of the most popular FPS franchises of all time.
