Description
The battle for gaming supremacy between Xbox and PlayStation has reached new heights with Xbox executives eager to finalize PlayStation's marketing deal with Activision, which prioritized PlayStation over Xbox for Call of Duty players on PS5 and PS4. As a result, PS5 and PS4 owners get benefits like early access to beta versions and additional loading slots. Xbox boss Phil Spencer has vowed to end the practice if Activision's proposed $69 billion acquisition of his company is approved. Spencer argued that "it's not about a skin on a weapon. It's not about some kind of game mode. The same version of the game will be available on all platforms, which is really what we're doing today." Spencer cited Minecraft as an example, where the game is identical across all consoles and platforms. While Sony offers identical experiences with its multi-format releases, such as MLB The Show 23 and Destiny 2: Lightfall, Xbox believes that PlayStation's partnership with the Call of Duty franchise in ads has been fruitful for the company in recent years. .
Although the advantages of PlayStation for Call of Duty players have made more and more sense as the franchise has embraced crossplay and eliminated practices of segregation of the player base, the battle between Xbox and PlayStation for supremacy of the game continues.
