Activision Blizzard games will continue to be released on PlayStation

Yesterday we reported that Microsoft is going to buy Activision Blizzard, which owns the rights to dozens of franchises, including Diablo and Overwatch. At that time, many users were worried that the games of internal studios would no longer be released on PlayStation consoles, but now you can exhale - these platforms will continue to be supported by the new owners of the organization.

Bloomberg tweeted that Microsoft has no plans to stop releasing new games on the PS. As a trump card that will allow the corporation to develop the Xbox brand, some exclusive content for these titles will act.
