The deal guarantees that Microsoft, which is awaiting federal approval of its acquisition of Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion, would make available the popular first-person shooter series on Nintendo Switch for 10 years.  It also announced a ten year deal to keep Call of Duty on the PC game store Steam.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">The deal does not specify the first year a Call of Duty title would be available on the Nintendo Switch.  A new Call of Duty title coming out would likely to be the first to arrive on the Nintendo Switch, though Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer told The Washington Post in an interview that the entire portfolio would still have be looked at to see which titles make it over to the Switch.  There&#8217;s no set date yet for when Call of Duty would first arrive on the Switch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cYou can imagine if [the deal] closed on that date, starting to do development work to make that happen would likely take a little bit of time,\u201d Spencer said, referring to the June 2023 date the merger is supposed to close, if it is not blocked by regulators.  \u201cOnce we get into the rhythm of this, our plan would be that when [a Call of Duty game] launches on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, that it would also be available on Nintendo at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Spencer pointed to Microsoft-owned titles like \u201cMinecraft\u201d making their way to the Switch as examples of how the company has experience bringing games to different platforms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cWe would do this with Minecraft as well, where we would do specific work to make the game run well on Nintendo Switch and their silicon and support their platform completely,\u201d Spencer said.  \u201cWe do the same when we ship on PlayStation 5.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">When asked if the Switch had enough technical specifications to run Call of Duty smoothly, Spencer said, &#8220;Minecraft and Call of Duty are different games. But from how you get games onto Nintendo, how you run a development team that is targeting multiple platforms, that&#8217;s experience we have.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Spencer said the agreement between Nintendo and Microsoft specifies ten years, because that length of time will be comforting to gamers, and it&#8217;s likely the companies will continue working together.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cIt&#8217;s just about picking an expiration date, not with the goal of ever expiring, but just like, the legalese of a document has to say this goes through some date,\u201d Spencer said.  \u201cBut once we start working with a platform, just like we have with with Minecraft, both on PlayStation and on on Nintendo&#8217;s platform, our goal would be to continue to support those customers.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">The move comes as Microsoft awaits the Federal Trade Commission&#8217;s regulatory scrutiny over its proposed acquisition, which has faced a significant challenge from Sony, the rival maker of the PlayStation console that believes the potential of Call of Duty becoming exclusive to Microsoft platforms would give the company an unfair advantage in the video game market.  Sony has not accepted a deal with Microsoft that would keep Call of Duty on PlayStation for ten years.  Sony declined to comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">The announcement comes shortly before a Dec.  8 closed meeting of the FTC.  While the FTC declined to comment on whether it is meeting with Microsoft this week, Bloomberg reported that Microsoft plans to meet with FTC Chair Lina Khan on Wednesday to persuade her to approve the deal.  When asked if there was any significance to the announcement coming relative to the FTC meeting, Spencer responded, \u201cThe things I&#8217;ve heard and seen written in the press is maybe some intent on our side when we make public commitments to Sony, that our private commitments are untenable or don&#8217;t work for partners, or for Sony specifically.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">He added that he wanted to show major industry partners like Nintendo and Valve that agreements can be reached, even if Sony did not accept.  \u201cMaybe some aura gets put around our words that maybe they&#8217;re not genuine, that when you have a company like Nintendo or a company like Valve believing in the commitment and reaching agreement with Nintendo on something like this, we think it&#8217;s an important point to have out in the market.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">One common line of inquiry among international regulators evaluating the acquisition has been whether Call of Duty, one of Activision Blizzard&#8217;s most successful franchises, will be made unavailable to PlayStation users.  Microsoft has repeatedly assured regulators that the series would stay on all current platforms \u2014 which currently includes Xbox, PlayStation and PC \u2014 and said it would be financially imprudent to discontinue publishing for PlayStation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Activision Blizzard and Nintendo did not respond to requests for comment at the time of publication.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Activision Blizzard has been made aware of the agreement, and Spencer said they were in a planning phase.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\"><i>Cat Zakrzewski and Jonathan Lee contributed to this report.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<section class=\"dn-ns hide-for-print\" data-testid=\"mostRead\" subscriptions-section=\"content\"\/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment on this story Comment Microsoft has signed a deal to bring the Activision Blizzard-published Call of Duty franchise to Nintendo for the first time, the company announced Tuesday night, pending approval of its acquisition of Activision Blizzard.
