In an unprecedented move, Xbox and Nintendo have signed a binding 10-year contract that will make Call of Duty, one of the biggest video game franchises, available on Nintendo devices. The announcement was made by Microsoft Vice President and President Brad Smith on Twitter, stating that the deal is aimed at expanding access to Call of Duty to more players using Nintendo devices, including all features and playable content.
The contract between Microsoft and Nintendo was reportedly reached after due negotiations. Microsoft announced the success of the agreement as a reflection of its intention to create more competition in the market by providing access to Xbox games and Activision titles on more compatible devices and platforms. Under the 10-year agreement, Nintendo will have equal access to all Call of Duty titles, including the latest releases. This means that all end users will be able to experience Activision's popular series with equal access to all features and content. Nintendo will receive Call of Duty titles on the same day as Xbox, making the title more accessible to a wider audience.
