Right now, Sony has a deal with Activision for three more years of Call of Duty on PlayStation, which Microsoft is willing to extend for 'several years,' which based on Phil Spencer's public comments online could be three more years after the current deal expires, making the popular shooter franchise's exclusivity for Xbox a possibility. RELATED: Hogwarts Legacy Boycott Efforts Explained Why Hogwarts Legacy's Exclusive Content Ties Into The Recent Call of Duty DebatesĬall of Duty is one of the highest net-grossing franchises in the gaming industry at the moment, and that reason alone is enough to keep Sony on edge over Microsoft's deal with Activision. Recently, in a not-so-amicable exchange of comments, Microsoft's Phil Spencer and Sony's Jim Ryan discussed the fate of Call of Duty as a franchise after the Activision acquisition goes through on Microsoft's part, and Jim Ryan spoke about how inadequate it is to gatekeep players on different platforms. The problem is that all of this will only become accessible to other platforms exactly a year after Hogwarts Legacy's launch, in February 2024, but this revelation comes with a strange timing. Not only that, as the PlayStation-exclusive content also includes the recipe for the renowned Felix Felicis potion, which in the game will let players see gear chests on the mini-map while exploring Hogwarts or its surroundings. Hogwarts Legacy will have an exclusive questline called The Haunted Hogsmeade Shop that will allow players to delve in a spooky dungeon and claim the shop for themselves, where they will be able to access the best prices in the whole game. Because the upcoming Harry Potter-inspired open-world game was first revealed in the PlayStation Showcase from September 2020, players have since been wondering if it would end up including content only available on Sony's platforms, and now it's apparent that it will.

In a somewhat expected turn of events, yesterday's State of Play presentation revealed that Avalance, Portkey Games, and WB Interactive's Hogwarts Legacy will have exclusive content coming to PlayStation on launch.
