Somewhat quiet rumors of something bigger on the way soon.
Could be a preemptive strike, that's totally possible, and likely if the rumor is true.
Also could just be MS getting the news out asap, making a huge deal out of it with extra PR so it spreads, so Acti/Bliz franchise fans will stop buying PS4/PS5 and start buying XBSS/XBSX instead.
If you're XB and you're planning to cut PS5 off COD by holiday 2023 let's say for example, you don't want COD fans buying PS5 from now until then not knowing that was coming.
Might as well get as many as possible to buy an XB asap instead, even if it turns out MS changes their minds and allows future COD on PS5.
