As confirmed in the past by Microsoft, yes, these licenses will remain availablebut Smith also confides an interesting detail. Apparently, Microsoft intends to bring the Call of Duty license to Nintendo in the future, so to Switch.
We would like to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo devices. We would like to bring the other popular Activision Blizzard titles, and ensure that they continue to be available on PlayStation, and that they become available on Nintendo.
