One of the major highlights of the gaming year 2023 has to be ‘Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision’. The Xbox parent company managed to seal the monumental acquisition of the Call of Duty developers in October. But the journey to the acquisition was as eventful as it could get. From the FTC vs Microsoft legal proceedings to the regulation politics, the Xbox company had surely been the talk of the town. Now, as the company shifts into the next plan of action, there’s a slight change for Call of Duty players in Europe. It looks like some major policy changes are happening for the European CoD fanatics. 

Ever since Microsoft achieved the big takeover of Activision, fans have been speculating on a series of changes. Moreover, a lot of gamers had also projected some big alterations to the ongoing policies of Activision-developed servers. Of course, most of the discussions were around what could change for Call of Duty. While there’s not much that has changed for the FPS fans in the States, European players have an agreement to adhere to. Well, here’s what you need to know about the new Microsoft and European Commission agreement.

Microsoft briefs about the new pop-up agreement to appear in Call of Duty 

The struggles of the whole Activision takeover fiasco in EEA were quite evident. A lot of reports claimed the company had to negotiate a lot of regulatory policies in countries across the European continent, especially in the UK. Later on, the parties came to a firm conclusion that would result in a new pop-up agreement for all the Call of Duty players across Europe. The players will have to accept a Software Agreement when loading in the game.

This simply means that the agreement is confirming Microsoft’s commitment to the EU, which allows people who own Activision Blizzard titles to stream them via any cloud gaming services. According to the official report, Microsoft agreed to two remedies and went on implementing the same in the new agreement. These two remedies resulted in this major change in the policy of Microsoft.
