微軟正在盡其所能完成與動視暴雪的交易計劃。幾周前，微軟和任天堂達成了一項為期10年的協議，將確保在此期間《決勝時刻》在任天堂遊戲機上運行。微軟想要安撫反壟斷機構，說服他們同意完成對動視暴雪的收購計劃。但是，索尼堅決反對這一做法，並擔心未來重要的遊戲品牌將被排除在PlayStation之外。
然而，到目前為止，這些圍繞《決勝時刻》的10年期協議似乎並沒有完全說服當局;關於任天堂，英國競爭與市場管理局(簡稱CMA)對此尤其不滿。在一份新的報告中，該機構表示，兩家公司之間的新合同“並不確定《決勝時刻》將出現在任天堂平臺上”。
雖然微軟在與任天堂的交易中承諾了這一點，以強調《決勝時刻》不應該只針對Xbox，但與PlayStation和Xbox相比，switch的“技術限制”讓《決勝時刻》的實際發行存在疑問。
微軟已經對這篇報道做出了回應，並相信《決勝時刻》可以針對switch進行優化:“支持《戰爭地帶》的遊戲引擎已經成熟，並且已經針對廣泛的硬件進行了優化(從2015年發佈的Xbox One到Xbox Series X)。《戰爭地帶》支持早在2015年發佈的GPU卡的PC硬件(早在2017年任天堂switch發佈之前)。”
微軟還指出，他們“在為可用硬件優化遊戲性能方面有著悠久的歷史”。因此，像《戰爭地帶》或《現代戰爭2》等遊戲也將針對這一轉變進行優化，就像其他開發者在《Apex傳奇》，《要塞英雄》或《孤島危機3》等遊戲中所做的那樣。
CMA預計將在今年4月26日前就收購動視暴雪做出決定。
Microsoft is doing everything it can to bring the planned deal with Activision Blizzard through. In order to placate the antitrust authorities, Call of Duty was also secured as part of a 10-year deal with Nintendo – but the British authorities expressed concerns. However, Microsoft itself is convinced of the possibility of a switch implementation of the shooter series. A few weeks ago, Microsoft and Nintendo entered into a 10-year deal that will ensure Call of Duty on Nintendo consoles for that period. The Redmond company wants to appease the antitrust authorities and convince them to go through with the planned purchase of Activision Blizzard. Above all, Sony is resolutely opposed to this and fears that important game brands will be excluded from the PlayStation in the future. So far, however, these 10-year deals around Call of Duty do not seem to have completely convinced the authorities; With regard to Nintendo, the British Competition and Markets Authority, or CMA for short, is particularly critical of this. In a new report, the authority states that the new contract between the two companies “does not entail any certainty that Call of Duty will be available on a Nintendo platform”. Although Microsoft would have promised this in the deal with Nintendo to underline that Call of Duty should not be exclusive to the Xbox, the “technical limitations” of the switch compared to the PlayStation and the Xbox leave an actual release of Call of Duty doubt there. Microsoft has already responded to this report and is convinced that Call of Duty can be optimized for the switch: “The game engine that powers Warzone is mature and has been optimized for a wide range of hardware (starting from Xbox One released in 2015 to Xbox Series X). Warzone supports PC hardware with GPU cards released back as far as 2015 (and thus before the release of the Nintendo Switch in 2017).” They also point out that they have “a long history of optimizing game performance for available hardware”. Accordingly, one is convinced that titles like Warzone or Modern Warfare 2 will also be optimized for the switch, similar to what other developers have done with Apex Legends, DOOM Eternal, Fortnite or Crysis 3, for example. To be honest, all of these titles look noticeably worse on the Switch than on the competing platforms, but: They just run on the Nintendo console! The CMA’s decision regarding the Activision Blizzard acquisition is expected by April 26 of this year.
