Evidently, Microsoft is not wasting time as regulators are still reviewing everything with its attempt to buy Activision Blizzard and showing that hoarding and making Xbox exclusive is not the main game here, the company landed a third agreement about Call Of Duty.

Microsoft announced this morning coming to an agreement that if allowed to buy Activision Blizzard, will have Cloud Gaming platform Boosteroid have a cloud gaming version of all Of Duty for the next 10 years after the agreement goes live.

Pretty much the same agreement that Microsoft signed with Nintendo and Nvidia, while Valve is pending to sign although most of the Call Of Duty games that were available after the exclusivity of Battle.Net for the PC ports of Call Of Duty expired with Modern Warfare II Remake.

Obviously this kind of move is to spite Sony and disregard the narrative that Microsoft just wants more leverage power favoring Xbox.

But this is not the last as Microsoft President BRad Smith told The Wall Street Journal that Microsoft is still pending to iron some kinks in further negotiation with other platforms which could not be limited to Call Of Duty, but in sense, ensuring that most of the Intellectual Properties of Activision Blizzard doesn’t just end bein Xbox exclusive.

Despite Microsoft claiming that will look to Call Of Duty have Nintendo Switch ports installed physically, this company is the one behind the Cloud Gaming version of Guardians of the Galaxy, Hitman 3, Control and Resident Evil Biohazard and Village which runs on the Nintendo Switch.

Interesting development so far.
