At the beginning of last December, the CEO of Microsoft Gaming and head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, announced via Twitter that the company had “acquired a commitment” to bring the video game developed by Activision Blizzard to the products of the Japanese company Nintendo after its merger with the American developer.
In this same announcement, Spencer also confirmed that he had committed “to continue offering Call of Duty on Steam concurrently with Xbox after closing the merger with Activision Blizzard King.”
The manager announced these agreements in the framework of an investigation by which different authorized bodies analyze the legitimacy of the purchase agreement of the American video game developer, something that is strongly opposed by its main competitor, Sony, which manufactures PlayStation.
The president of Microsoft, Brad Smith, who this Tuesday presents the arguments for which they believe this acquisition should be approved at a hearing of the European Commission, has now announced the signing of a partnership with the manufacturer of Nintendo Switch.
“Microsoft and Nintendo have negotiated and signed a ten-year binding agreement to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo players the same day as Xbox, with all features and content parity,” the manager said via Twitter.
Smith has insisted that this agreement will allow owners of Nintendo platforms “to experience Call Of Duty like Xbox and PlayStation players” and has recalled his commitment to “give long-term access to the game to other platforms.”
