“Call of Duty” is one of the best-selling video game franchises ever, with its latest entry, 2022’s “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II,” surpassing $1 billion in sales less than two weeks after release. In January 2022, Microsoft announced a deal to purchase Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion. Sony is currently the biggest opponent of the merger between the two entities, sparking conversations with various government regulators about potential anticompetitiveness if the franchise became exclusive to Xbox consoles. However, Microsoft said that it would bring “Call of Duty” to additional platforms such as Nintendo if the deal was approved.
