The deal with Microsoft is good news for fans
Microsoft’s first foray into gaming has led to some eyebrows being raised, but the company believes it will help its push into the living room.
The $140m deal with Activision Blizzard includes rights to exclusive content and features on Xbox One and PC, including Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Special Edition and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered. The deal will also see Microsoft sell physical copies of Call of Duty games post-launch through GameStop stores in the US and Canada, as well as Amazon Prime Video (and potentially others).

It’s an impressive move by Microsoft that could see them become a major player in this area; however we don’t think it will have much impact outside their native markets since they aren’t really competing against other tech companies like Google or Apple who have been doing well with Chromecast devices etcetera over recent years – so unless you live in one of those countries then there shouldn’t be many people who care about what happens here anyway!
Conclusion
Given Microsoft’s recent push towards gaming, we can only imagine that the company is hoping to grow its share in the living room. The deal with Activision is certainly a good start, and it shows that Microsoft isn’t afraid to take risks. The Xbox One X seems like an obvious first step towards this goal, so we can only hope that it leads to other innovative projects in the future!
