Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 may end Xbox exclusivity deal

4.6
Is Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 about to break the trend of Xbox priority DLC?

The Xbox brand has always been considered the home of Call of Duty. Each year’s game would get demoed on a Microsoft stage, all advertisements would carry the Xbox logo, and DLC would always come first to Xbox consoles – and enjoy a 30-day exclusivity period.

It looks like things are going to be a bit different this year. The UK Xbox One page shows a number of AAA games, some are due this year, others next year. If you look at the game covers, there’s a green box that either says “exclusive game” or “content first,” depending on the game.

The Division for instance is not an exclusive game, but will get early-access to content on Xbox.


If you look at the Black Ops 3 thumbnail however, there’s nothing there.

It’s worth noting that Rise of the Tomb Raider doesn’t carry that sticker. This could be due to the fact that the game is also coming to Xbox 360. Although, Ori and the Blind Forest carries the exclusive tag, even though it’s available on PC.

Always thought it was a cool thing to have the exclusive deals but I guess they are trying something new

Smurfs I hope it does get an Xbox exclusive deal. I would hate to have to wait an extra month for the DLCs.


This would be a good thing for Activision as they could get more sales from an absence of an exclusive deal.

DeluxeHazardPosted:

This exclusive deal should come to an end. Xbox, Playstation, and PC should all get DLC at the same time.

jtaghackzmodz I doubt it that they will switch to Playstaytion. Microsoft has ALOT more money to offer then Sony. I think they should just release it on both consoles at the same time but doubt that'll ever happen

In what way would they be offering money other than paying for the exclusivity? Sony has sold a lot more PS4's than Microsoft have Xbox One's so CoD could be looking at the bigger market.

XB1 has a lot more BO3 pre-orders than PS4


Source? There is also 5 months until the game comes out so there are still people going to pre order the game (I need too) and quite a lot of people get it for Christmas too.
