Xbox head Phil Spencer has announced that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Microsoft has entered a 10-year long deal with Nintendo to keep Call of Duty on its platforms. This agreement comes shortly after the company recently 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:confirmed it offere🐼d the same 🌠deal to Sony, likely in an attempt to push through its acquisition of Call of Duty publi𒈔sher Activison💖 Blizzard.

Spencer announced the agreement between Xbox and Nintendo via his personal Twitter account, in which he also states 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Call of Duty will continue to launch on Steam after the acquisition goes through. With this announcement, this leaves PlayStation and Sony as the only big p🐼latform to not have officially accepted the deal, despite assurances from Microsoft that it doesn't plan on taking the series as an exclusive.

While the deal with Steam makes a lot of sense, announcing an agreement with Nintendo is fairly bizarre. At the moment, there are no Call of Duty games on the Switch, with the last game to release on a Nintendo platform being Call of Duty Ghosts on the Wii U. It's doubtful that Nintendo will actually release Call of Duty games on Nintendo Switch too, meaning it's more of a deal to signal Micr🐭osoft's good intentions to investigating governing bodies rather than to maintain good relations with rival platforms.

While it's still expected for Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard to go through, several roadblocks have emerged that have threatened to significantly push the deal back. For example, it's expected that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the FTC is going to block the deal which would force Microsoft to fight for its acquisition in court. In fact, legal issues 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:could push the deal beyond June 2023, which would drag out an acqusition that has already been e🍸xtremely messy and long-winded. This deal with Nintendo is lik𒈔ely an attempt to avoid courts.
