Microsoft is still in the process of acquiring Activision Blizzard<\/a>, and while regulators are cracking down on Microsoft<\/a>, PlayStation is turning up some heat of its own as well. <\/p>\n Among the largest concerns regulators have expressed was the idea that certain significant game series \u2014 particularly the Call of Duty franchise, one of the largest games series on the planet \u2014 might become platform-exclusive to Xbox as a result of the acquisition. To help get ahead of this question, Xbox has said in multiple settings and ways that Call of Duty will remain available on PlayStation. <\/p>\n While the first statement only said that the series would remain multi-platform<\/a> for the remainder of the current contract between Activision and PlayStation parent company Sony. On Monday, Xbox president Phil Spencer clarified<\/a> that Microsoft has signed an offer with Sony to keep the game on PlayStation beyond that contract, as well. This deal wasn\u2019t intended to be public, according to Sony, and it still isn\u2019t enough of a guarantee for the future.<\/p>\n
