In this installment of the "Game News Roundup" I discuss the latest gaming news with a focus on Microsoft's response to the CMA's questions at the remedies hearing over Microsoft's Activision Blizzard acquisition.
This includes Microsoft claiming that keeping Call of Duty on PlayStation consoles for 10 years is more than enough time for Sony to develop its own alternative to the popular first-person shooter series and Microsoft saying Call of Duty will be optimized for PlayStation 5 and make full use of the features of the console. I also discuss the report that Microsoft's remedies to the European Commission include concerns over cloud streaming, but makes no mention of video game console rival, Sony with its PlayStation.
Here is the list of sales and news discussed during the video:
- Microsoft: 10 Years is Long Enough for Sony to Develop an Alternative to Call of Duty
- Microsoft: Call of Duty Will be Optimized for PlayStation Consoles
- Report: Microsoft's EU Remedies Only Address Cloud Streaming, Leaves Out Sony
