Call Of Duty Will Have "100 Percent Parity" Across All Platforms

thegamer.com:

Call of Duty has been in bed with PlayStation for quite a while now. Even amongst the trials and tribulations of Activision Blizzard being acquired by Microsoft, the most recent beta for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 was exclusive to PlayStation platforms for the first few days. Call of Duty on PlayStation has also had a number of exclusive DLC packs over the years, and does so with Modern Warfare 3 as well due to preexisting contracts penned between Sony and Activision Blizzard.

Now that Activision Blizzard is officially part of the Xbox family, it seems like the days of platform exclusive benefits are coming to an end. Speaking on the official Xbox podcast, Phil Spencer has claimed that he wants Call of Duty to have "100 percent parity" across all platforms, meaning key features - such as any potential early access periods, betas, or DLC packs - will launch on all available platforms at the same time.

"For Call of Duty players on PlayStation, and in the future Nintendo, I want you to feel 100 percent part of the community," says Spencer. "I don't want you to fell like there's content you're missing out on, there's skins you're missing out on, there's timing that you're missing out on. That's not the goal. The goal is 100 percent parity across all platforms..."

Spencer goes on to explain that there obviously won't be full technical parity between platforms, as some consoles simply won't be able to hit the same resolution and frame rate as the Xbox Series X, but that future Call of Duty launches and extra content coinciding with said launches will drop on all consoles at the same time. Xbox won't have any exclusive perks now that it owns
