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.

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.

DPM It wouldn't surprise me if they went to Sony, there has been more PS4 consoles sold than XBOX One's so PS4 would clearly have more users playing COD.


Not completely true yeah maybe a few but not all people play cod remember but I don't see them going to Sony to be honest but we shall see what will happen sooner or later.

Its not like it was unfair to begin with being Xbox subscribers pay for this stuff exclusively where as PSN doesn't.

They'll stick with Microsoft. No way in hell they will go to Sony, Microsoft just has WAY more to offer. And they don't get hacked every week

Lia I guess they realized XBOX is awful XD


I'm sorry how many times has ps4 been held offline or has network problems oh wait all the time.



Cods shit anyways, if you enjoy cod you need to get your brain checked out..... Zombies might even be shit this year if they bring that futuristic shit in.


1. Xbox isn't really that awful (I have a PS4 and have been on Xbox One) they are looking to go with Sony because of various reasons such as more PS4 sales so there is more people on PS4 who could potentially buy the game.
2. Majority of the time when PS4 has been 'offline' when it isn't maintenance, it has only been offline in certain areas of the world and some can still get on then? Xbox has been reported down quite a few times as well.
3. Zombies will have both futuristic and regular in two separate story lines.

Does nobody research anything any more?
