Sony Says Starfield Will Affect Call of Duty on PS

Starfield is poised to be one of the biggest games this year

Sony thinks Starfield being Xbox exclusive justifies why it's worried about  Call of Duty | VG247


Sony has used the upcoming game, Starfield, as evidence to the UK government's Competition and Markets Authority that Microsoft can't guarantee Call of Duty will be easily available on PlayStation. Sony suggested that Microsoft might release an unoptimized version of Call of Duty on PlayStation. Microsoft originally said "it would not have the incentive to cease or limit making ZeniMax games available for purchase on rival consoles," when attempting to acquire ZeniMax Media and subsequently Bethesda. This has obviously ended up not being so true, as Sony also noted that both Starfield and Elder Scrolls are also going to be Xbox console exclusives.


Starfield will be one of the biggest games of the year, so it's not too surprising Sony is trying to use that as a way to say Microsoft might not be so trustworthy when it comes to Call of Duty. Microsoft has also been trying to form a deal with Sony, but the details of that are not public. Microsoft literally signed a deal with Nintendo last year guaranteeing Call of Duty games on the latter's platforms for at least 10 years.


While it's unclear how much of an impact Call of Duty not being on PlayStation consoles will have, Sony is dead set on the idea that it will be catastrophic. The European Commission is reportedly happy for Microsoft's acquisition to go ahead, which provides a favorable outlook for Microsoft.
