Microsoft has signed an agreement with Sony to keep the Call of Duty video game series on the PlayStation console after the tech giant acquires video game maker Activision Blizzard.
The announcement was made Sunday in a Twitter post by Phil Spencer, who heads up Microsoft’s Xbox division.
Call of Duty has been at the center of a corporate tug-of-war between Microsoft’s Xbox and Sony’s PlayStation over Microsoft’s $69 billion purchase of Activision Blizzard, which makes the best-selling Call of Duty lineup. A U.S. appeals court on Friday rejected a bid by federal regulators to block Microsoft’s acquisition.
Sony did not immediately reply to a request for comment Sunday. And Microsoft did not disclose the duration of the deal.
