PlayStation Boss Jim Ryan Met EU Regulators Over Xbox/Activision Deal

Ever since a proposed deal of acquiring video game developer/publisher Activision/Blizzard for whopping $68.7 billion was announced by Microsoft earlier this year, their rival company Sony Interactive Entertainment seems a little shook.

Sony execs sounds worried and are calling an extended deal to keep Call of Duty multiplatform as inadequate on many levels. With regulator recommending further investigation of Activision buyout deal, Sony keeps voicing over concerns.

Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan has reportedly met regulators at European Union earlier last month to express concern over ongoing acquisition of Activision and whether Call of Duty series will be leaving PlayStation in future.

Xbox boss Phil Spencer promises to make Call of Duty available on PlayStation for several more years after existing deal with Sony expires. However, Jim Ryan is desperately seeking access to known series on equal terms and in perpetuity.

An in-depth probe of Activision/Blizzard deal by UK competition regulator was launched earlier last month. Sony has welcomed such steps stating it would have major negative implication for players and believed future of gaming industry.

Activision and Sony is currently in agreement to publish three more Call of Duty games for their consoles, including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, Warzone 2.0 and a new game by Black Ops developer Treyarch that is set to arrive in 2024.
