Sony is expecting that Activision Blizzard games will remain on their PlayStation consoles, even after the massive $68.7 billion acquisition of the embattled company by Xbox recently.
After buying out ZeniMax for a now-paltry $7.5 billion (in cash, no less, as per an official news release by Microsoft), some of the iconic "Skyrim" maker's games were made Xbox exclusives. The most notable one is the upcoming space RPG "Starfield," as well as potentially the next "Elder Scrolls" title.
As far back as September of last year, "Starfield's" Xbox exclusivity has been confirmed, and it looks like it is not going to change. Even Bethesda executive Pete Hines had to apologize because there was reportedly nothing he could do. That means one of the most-anticipated games of the current generation will be missed entirely by PlayStation owners.
Digital Trends argues that if Microsoft was more than willing to do this to an iconic developer and publisher game, then there might be no reason they shouldn't pull it off with Activision Blizzard games.
Looking Ahead
While the Xbox vs PlayStation exclusivity of Activision games remains up in the air, everything seems to point to continued success for Microsoft as a whole. With Activision Blizzard in the fold, there is the confidence that Xbox's game library will continue to grow and be almost impossible to defeat for PlayStation.
This is a developing story.
