Phil Spencer, head executive of Microsoft’s Xbox division, has decided to put an end to speculation about the future of Call of Duty games on PlayStation consoles following the news of the acquisition of Activision Blizzard by Microsoft earlier this week.<\/p>\n

The tech giant announced on Tuesday, 18th December, news about their biggest acquisition deal to date – the purchase of Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion.<\/a><\/p>\n

This means that Microsoft now owns Call of Duty, Warcraft, StarCraft, Overwatch, Candy Crush, Crash Bandicoot, and other popular franchises.<\/p>\n

Naturally, speculation about the future of these franchises started immediately, with the biggest question being what will this acquisition mean for PlayStation and Activision Blizzard IPs now owned by Microsoft.<\/p>\n
