Sony points to Starfield exclusivity for why Microsoft can't be trusted with Call of Duty
Microsoft previous🍸ly stated it would have no incentive to make Bethesda games exclusive

Sony has claimed 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft's track record with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Starfield is proof it shouldn't be trusted 𒐪to keep Call of Duty muꦓlti-platform.
Microsoft has recently made sweeping commitments to put Call of Duty on more platforms should its acquisition of Activision Blizzard proceed - even signing a deal to put Call of Duty o🤪n Nintendo platforms for a decade. The company also said Call of Duty would be on the next PlayStation console, and even 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:offered PlayStation aꦕ decade-long deal to keep the shooter series on its consoles (which Sony 🐠declin𝓀ed).
agency, Sony pointed to Microsoft's past statement to the European Commission that it would "not have the incentive" to limit making Bethesda-made games available on multiple platforms.Starfield is now obviously a console exclusive for the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series X/S, eliminating it from coming to PlayStation platforms. Sony believes Microsoft has reneged on this past statement to the European Commission by making Starfield a console exclusive for one platform, and therefore the company shouldn't be trusted to keep to its agreements regarding Call of Duty and other Activision Blizဣzard franchises.
It's worth pointing out that Starfield was never explicitly declared a PlayStation game. There were several years in between Starfield's announcement and its grand gameplay reveal last year where news surrounding the game went quiet, and in that time Be💃thesda never confirmed which platforms the game would actually be coming to upon launch.
Sony believes the implication for a multi-platform PlayStation launch for Starfield was there, though, which is what their argument now hinges around. The UK's CMA ha൲sn't given a final verdict on Microsoft's proposed Activision Blizzard acquisition yet, so it✱ remains to be seen whether Sony's statement will have a material impact on the agency's final verdict.
