"Call of Duty Secured on PlayStation Despite Activision Blizzard Microsoft Merger"

Microsoft has signed an agreement with Sony to ensure that "Call of Duty" remains available on PlayStation after Microsoft's merger with Activision Blizzard. This agreement addresses Sony's concerns about competition and could help overcome opposition to the merger. Microsoft had previously signed licensing agreements with other companies to ensure that Activision titles would not be restricted on their platforms. The duration of the agreement with Sony was not disclosed. Microsoft faces a deadline of July 18 to close the merger, but it could be extended.
