As Microsoft continues to try and close its biggest deal ever, we're getting more and more reports of different potential actions and concessions Microsoft will consent to in order to get the deal finished.

The latest report comes from SeekingAlpha (opens in new tab), which reports that Microsoft and Sony recently held meetings to discuss terms and provide assurances that after the deal closes, Microsoft will "allow Activision's games to be played on the PlayStation console.".

This deal, valued at almost $69 billion, is the largest acquisition in video game history, and would see Microsoft add Activision Publishing, Blizzard Entertainment, and King to the existing Xbox first-party publishers of Xbox Game Studios and Bethesda Softworks.

Sony has repeatedly pushed back against the deal, with Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan stating that Microsoft's initial three-year offer for Call of Duty remaining on PlayStation was "inadequate," while Sony has argued Microsoft will be able to raise prices on Xbox games, Xbox consoles and Xbox Game Pass once the deal closes.

Prior to this latest update, Microsoft reportedly offered Sony 10 years of Call of Duty as a concession to the European Commission in order to get approval for the deal.

The latest big Call of Duty game is here, and it's accompanied by Warzone 2.0, a new version of the Call of Duty battle royale experience.

Report: Monster Hunter Rise is coming to Xbox and Game Pass in 2023.
