Windows Central • • technology
Key Points:
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 has been praised as the best campaign in a decade but shows a 32% decline in player count on Xbox compared to last year’s Black Ops 7.
- On Steam, Modern Warfare 4 peaked at around 215,000 concurrent players, about 30% fewer than Black Ops 6 during its launch weekend, indicating a notable dip in engagement.
- The absence of Modern Warfare 4 on Game Pass likely contributes to lower player numbers, as players must purchase the game outright, which costs around $70.
- Despite lower concurrent player counts, Modern Warfare 4 was the top-selling game on Steam at release, though official sales figures from Activision remain unavailable.
- The Call of Duty franchise has surpassed $40 billion in revenue overall, adding $10 billion since 2022, highlighting its continued financial success despite fluctuating player engagement.
