Microsoft has agreed to bring “Call of Duty” to Nintendo platforms for the next 10 years, said Phil Spencer, the CEO of Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Gaming, in a post on Twitter on Wednesday.
With this deal, Activision Blizzard’s (NASDAQ: ATVI) popular first-person shooter series will be available for the first time on Nintendo game consoles.
Nintendo said that what Microsoft said was true, but they didn’t want to say anything else.
The news comes after regulators were worried that Microsoft’s plan to buy the company that makes “Call of Duty” for $69 billion would hurt competition.
Related: Sources say that Microsoft is likely to make some changes to the Activision deal soon.
Microsoft competes with Sony (NYSE: SONY) Group Corp. and Nintendo in the global video game industry, which has grown quickly in recent years because people are staying home more because of the coronavirus pandemic.
