Phil Spencer swears under oath that he won’t pull Call of Duty from PlayStation 5.

Spencer notes that Microsoft would suffer damage from going back on its word in any case — “I think as we’ve seen even in preparation for this that gamers are an active and vocal group. Us pulling Call of Duty from PlayStation in my view would create irreparable harm for the Xbox brand,” he said. But now he’s also solemnly sworn it under oath.

“I would raise my hand, I would do whatever it takes,” he told Judge Corley in court. “My commitment is, and my testimony is, that we will continue to ship future versions of Call of Duty on Sony’s PlayStation 5.”

It is, perhaps, worth specifically noting the “5” in that oath.
