Microsoft wants to unite the entire community after joining Activision Blizzard Call of Duty and offer the same experience and identical content on all platforms without any exclusivity. So it doesn’t matter whether you play on PlayStation, Nintendo, Xbox or PC.
This was stated by Phil Spencer, head of Microsoft’s gaming division, on the official Xbox podcast. Call of Duty should be the same on all platforms, the only differences being resolution, graphics and performance depending on the individual hardware. By doing this, he probably meant the much weaker Switch. However, the goal is for everyone to feel included.
As you know, Microsoft has signed an agreement with Sony and Nintendo that Call of Duty will be released on PlayStation and Nintendo for at least 10 years.
“We don’t want to use Call of Duty to sell Xbox consoles.. We’ve been on the other side of all those skins, exclusives, and even that beta (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, editor’s note) that wasn’t on Xbox for the first week. I don’t think it will help the community, but it’s also bad for the game.” Spencer stated.
The head of Xbox confirmed previously received information from Activision Blizzard that games won’t hit Game Pass until 2024. Due to uncertainty in UK authorities’ decision-making, Microsoft teams did not work with Activision Blizzard before the acquisition was approved. So they are just getting started now. Things were different for Bethesda in 2021, with Microsoft adding its first games immediately after the merger was completed.
Activision Blizzard previously confirmed that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Diablo 4 will be available on Game Pass in 2024. It is expected that new games will be added, including old ones. Spencer is in love with you and he would like to return to the old brands. As an example, he cited the remaster of the shooter Quake 2 from the Bethesda catalog. However, for such activities you need to have a motivated team.
“With Game Pass, we have the opportunity to pick a few series each year and bring them to life. If teams want to come back and fully focus on some of our franchises, I will support them in that.” he added.
Spencer’s words were quickly picked up by Samuel Villarreal, an engineer at Nightdive, and X He wroteWhat his team would like to work on the cult games Heretic and Hexen. The same team brought System Shock, Turok or Shadow Man back from the grave.
Activision Blizzard also owns, for example, Prototype, Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, Gun, King’s Quest, DJ Hero, Empire Earth, Gabriel Knight, Pitfall, True Crime, Phantasmagoria, Singularity, Soldier of Fortune or Tenchu.
