Sony says “contractual agreements” will keep Activision games on PS5

Sony has finally issued a response to Microsoft’s shock announcement that it will be acquiring Activision Blizzard from earlier this week, stating that it expects relevant games to remain multiplatform due to preexisting “contractual agreements” with the publisher.
