Phil Comments Tracking from CNBC interview with Microsoft CEO Brad Smith Earlier this year, he also mentioned how the US tech giant would like to bring the Call of Duty series to Switch if the acquisition goes ahead.
“One of the things we talk about very clearly as we move forward with the regulatory review of this acquisition is that great titles like Call of Duty from Activision Blizzard today, will continue to be available on Sony PlayStation.
“We want to bring it to Nintendo consoles. We want to bring other popular titles that Activision and making sure it’s still available on PlayStation, [and] It is now available on Nintendo. “
At the time, Smith also used Minecraft as an example of Microsoft’s continued commitment to else platforms.
Of course, in order for Microsoft to pursue this, it first needs to complete its acquisition of Activision Blizzard. It is currently in the process of finalizing the deal. If Call of Duty returns to Nintendo systems, you will likely be on the next generation system at this rate.
