The days of exclusive Call of Duty content on PlayStation are officially over. Moving forward, Activision's shooter will be the same across all platforms with some small differences in performance, it's been confirmed by Microsoft Gaming head Phil Spencer in a recent interview.
When speaking about the future of Call of Duty and Microsoft's plans for the franchise, Spencer reiterated that he wants the Call of Duty players on PlayStation and Nintendo to feel part of the community, regardless of the fact that Microsoft now owns the franchise.
"I don't want you to feel like there's content you're missing out, there's skins your missing out, there's timing that you're missing out on, that's not the goal," Spencer said. "The goal is 100 per cent party across all platforms as much as we can for launch and content."
Spencer then mentioned that the Xbox platform has been left out of some skins and content, namely the exclusive beta that was always first on PlayStation. Some players probably expected to see Microsoft use the same promo for their Xbox platform but Spencer was adamantly against that.
"We have no goal to somehow use Call of Duty to get you and buy an Xbox console," Spencer confidently confirmed. We've been on the other side of some of those skins, even this [Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3] beta, it wasn't on Xbox the first week. I don't think that helps the community and game."
This is obviously huge news for the game and the community. Having one unified version of Call of Duty with the same content across all platforms is great so no one loses access to certain content due to unnecessary timed exclusives.
Sony was obviously the one that made all these exclusive deals with Activision over recent years so they will be the only side to lose something here but we'd say that's not such a big deal if the players are the ones to win at the end of the day.
