The Call of Duty franchise's streaming rights now belong to Ubisoft, in another twist in the saga.
, Ubisoft have now struck a deal giving them the cloud streaming rights to the Call of Duty franchise.
Seemingly out of nowhere, Ubisoft have staked their claim in the drama after agreeing a deal with Activision Blizzard. “Ubisoft announced a transaction giving [them] the cloud streaming rights for Call of Duty and all other Activision Blizzard titles releasing over the next 15 years once” Microsoft and Activision’s merger is completed.
It hasn’t been confirmed when exactly the Call of Duty franchise is going to reach Ubisoft+, though it’s likely they will announce this at some point in the future. It does, however, rely on the ongoing merger between Microsoft and Activision Blizzard, which is not exactly an easy saga to make predictions on. It is possible that this Ubisoft and Call of Duty partnership will ease the CMA’s concerns that Microsoft have too powerful of a foothold on the cloud streaming industry, perhaps making the merger ever more likely.
