Phil Spencer really wants to bring Call of Duty to the Nintendo Switch

Spencer's words should silence any doubts about Microsoft's plans for Call of Duty. It's as if Spencer was trying to provide a direct answer to concerns from competitors, mainly Sony, and other regulators as well as gamers.

Microsoft has made it clear that it intends to "honor all existing agreements" that Activision Blizzard has signed for Call of Duty with Sony and other companies, even going as far as to pin the blame on Sony for why Call of Duty won't be on the Game Pass for a long time.

Ultimately, Spencer's statements are non-binding. As the company stops short of promising that Call of Duty will be a multi-platform title in perpetuity, the concerns governing bodies have will continue to prove right. But, if Spencer can put his money where his mouth is and find a way to secure the usually-reclusive Nintendo's approval for a Call of Duty port, who knows?

As CMA's inquiry into the Activision Blizzard purchase continues, we're treated to a glimpse of the inner workings of video game companies. For example, we found out just how much money Xbox has made from the Game Pass. Finally, Spencer also hinted that the current-gen console might undergo a price increase after the holiday season, which follows Sony's earlier price hike for the PS5.
