Every Call of Duty game is on sale on Xbox as Microsoft prepares to merge with Activision

Every Call of Duty game that Microsoft offers on its gaming storefront has been discounted ahead of the incoming merger with Activision.

Today, Sony signed a landmark contract to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation. This deal will ensure the mega-hit franchise stays on PlayStation for an undetermined period of time, allaying the Federal Trade Commission's anti-competitive concerns that the franchise could be withheld from Sony's rival platform via partial or total foreclosure.

In preparation from the merger's closure, which could happen in a matter of weeks pending approval from UK regulators, Microsoft and Activision have significantly discounted every single Call of Duty game on that's available on the Xbox platform. Some discounts are as high as 70% off. This move is expected to lead to a significant surge in playercounts, purchases, and potentially even player spending across nearly two decades' worth of games.

The incoming merger combination has led to a revival of classic Call of Duty games on Xbox 360, with many gamers reporting quick matchmaking and filled lobbies.
