Microsoft has just announced that it is entering into an agreement with Nintendo. Thanks to this new deal, we can soon expect to see the latter’s gaming devices to run Xbox titles like the massively popular franchise, the Call of Duty. So here are all of the details.
As per the official announcement, the American tech giant signed a binding 10 year legal agreement to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo players. For those unaware, the latter is a Japanese giant for both its gaming hardware like the Switch and software like the Mario and Legend of Zelda series. The announcement also added that “We are committed to providing long term equal access to Call of Duty to other gaming platforms.”
Microsoft had also offered a similar deal to Sony in the recent past. Now, the company is signing a new deal with the Switch handheld console maker. So now, Activision Blizzard’s Call of Duty franchise will be making its way Nintendo consoles soon. Notably, the new deal with the Japanese company could also be to ease regulators of its acquisition of Activision Blizzard.
Following the acquisition, Microsoft had faced a lot of opposition after buying the gaming studio behind the COD. This lead to the company facing backlash from its rivals like Sony, since it reportedly posed a threat to the industry.
