Sony Confirms 30-Day Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 DLC Exclusivity

4.7
Sony turned the tables at E3 2015 just a few days ago, announcing that PlayStation owners will get exclusive early access to all Call of Duty downloadable content, starting with Call of Duty: Black Ops 3.

The news suggests a multi-year deal between Sony and Call of Duty’s publisher, Activision, marking a huge shift in DLC delivery that originally favored users on Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

More recently, Sony’s Adam Boyes was able to confirm with Kotaku that Black Ops 3 DLC would remain exclusive to PlayStation owners for 30 days, as was the case with previous Call of Duty titles and is currently the case with Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. One more map pack, Reckoning, is still pipeline for Sledgehammer Games’ title.

With that, what are your thoughts on the new deal? Has it convinced you to buy Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 and any future Call of Duty titles on Sony’s platform instead of Microsoft’s?

slapshot101 This whole exclusivity deal has actually made me think about getting a Playstation 4. I really liked getting the DLC first because I hated knowing all the stuff before I played. Also Battlefront is playstation focused game, and It's the most important game of the year for me, plus the better graphics in most games at 1080. There really isn't many games that excite me on Xbox this year.


How is battlefront a PlayStation focused game? LOL


I think what he means is that Playstation users gets exclusive content. After I pre-ordered Battlefront the guy even told me Xbox won't be getting the exclusives. Kinda like Destiny Exclusives. Anyways, Dice does indeed have a contract with Sony about Battlefront, I just don't know much, except for what I just told you. I haven't anything about Dice and Microsoft having a partnership.

Cod has been on the decline for years anyway...

Did they really "turn the tables"?

As many people claim, the series it at a decline.
Microsoft had this deal when it mattered. They locked this deal down and found a pretty good reason no to re up.

I play on PC and I have to admit that I think exclusivity just hurts the fans.
All the secrets and important bits are discovered by the time the other consoles get the, so whats the point of getting it? There is no new content. It's all pointless a month later.

Miwen wow Ps4 are getting more than the xbox users now they have partnered together


I think its a good thing, Xbox didn't even promote CoD at E3, the franchise has become a total failure. Sales plummet every year now. Its just terrible.


They didn't promote CoD because of the exclusivity with Playstation..

They dont have the DLC deal so they couldn't promote it because Sony has the rights to. Microsoft wasnt aloud.
