What else is known
According to Forbes, the 76-page CMA report includes a section on what Sony is asking Microsoft to do if it can successfully close its acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Among them:
- Microsoft should not add additional content to the Xbox version of Call of Duty.
- Microsoft should not give Call of Duty better optimization on Xbox consoles.
- Microsoft shouldn't be offering a number of compelling Call of Duty bonuses through Xbox Game Pass. For example, exclusive modes, features, and even adding the game to Game Pass.
The situation is actually absurd, becauseSony is working hard to bring exclusive content to Call of Duty on PlayStation. For example, Modern Warfare 2 will have an exclusive zombie mode, an operator, and all sorts of bonuses. Therefore, only the decision of the CMA can solve all these scandals.
