Call of Duty’s inclusion in a gaming subscription service would have a “notable impact on subscriber numbers,” according to a leading analyst.
Bloomberg understands that Sony has yet to accept the deal, as it continues to fight against the merger which would see Microsoft take control of the industry’s largest third party, and one of its largest franchises.The concession is said to be the latest made to the US regulator in an attempt to ease concerns
Microsoft giving Sony the ability to include the franchise as part of its subscription offering could be one way to offset the argument that Microsoft would be able to unfairly compete, by offering the world’s biggest multi-platform console game for a small monthly fee in its ecosystem. Call of Duty, the monolithic shooter franchise that regularly tops the best-selling lists for console games could, theoretically, have become exclusive to Microsoft platforms following this deal.
However, since the announcement of Microsoft’s intention to acquire Activision Blizzard, the company has assured that it wouldn’t lock away the game for at least a decade.
