Even though the game's reveal made it seem as if the new Call of Duty game was to be released exclusively for Xbox, Activision has confirmed that the game will also be released for the PlayStation.
Loyal Sony users who are also fans of the Call of Duty series received what was almost a rude shock after the unveiling of the Xbox One. The reveal for the next CoD game was timed just in sync with the new console's event, leading some users to suspect the game to be an Xbox exclusive. Prior to now, Activision had not released any word on the status of the game for PS4. But PlayStations users need not panic. After the misunderstanding, Activision confirmed that Ghosts will be available for Sony's PlayStation 3 and 4 as well.
Cued up for a November 5 release, the game will still get a pseudo "exclusive" (or at least prioritized) release for the Xbox One, as it will be released for Microsoft's console first and receive its downloadable content on Xbox before PlayStation. But this is no real change from the previous CoD games, in which the releases arrived with similar timing. Dan Amrich, community manager for Activision, acknowledged on his blog that knowing for sure whether or not the game would be released on Sony's console is extremely important to many gamers. "Even if you strongly suspected it to arrive on PS4," he wrote, "or thought there was no logical reason for it not to come to Sony's next-gen platform, it's always good to have confirmation from the source."
