Activision PlayStation Games Won't All Turn Into Xbox Exclusives
Editor’s Note: A lawsuit has been filed against Activision Blizzard by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, which alleges the company has engaged in abuse, discrimination, and retaliation against its female employees. Activision Blizzard has denied the allegations. The full details of the Activision Blizzard lawsuit (content warning: rape, suicide, abuse, harassment) are being updated as new information becomes available.
Phil Spencer has commented on the possibility of future Activision Blizzard games being Xbox exclusive following news of Microsoft's purchase of Activision Blizzard. After the story broke today, January 18, many are already wondering if the gaming giant will make games like Call of Duty exclusive to Xbox, and how this might shape Xbox Game Pass moving forward.
Back in 2020, it was revealed that Microsoft planned to purchase ZeniMax Media in a buyout that cost the company around $7.5 billion when it was finalized in 2021. As multiple Bethesda classics hit Xbox Game Pass following the deal, the large acquisition left many to ponder on Bethesda's upcoming titles, and whether or not they'd come to PlayStation consoles. While Microsoft has since revealed that some games like Starfield will be exclusive to Xbox, other upcoming games like The Elder Scrolls VI have a future less certain. Microsoft-owned titles like Minecraft have been immensely popular outside of Xbox platforms, meaning there's potential for Microsoft to allow some games on PlayStation or even Nintendo consoles, though with such expensive acquisitions, some exclusivity is to be expected.
