Activision Publishing has announced that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is the most played Call of Duty game in this console generation, beating out Black Ops III, WWII, and more to be the #1 Call of Duty game since 2012.
Activision's Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® continues to drive momentum delivering new highs in multiplayer engagement within the franchise for this console generation. Modern Warfare has outpaced all previous Call of Duty multiplayer experiences of this generation in hours played, hours per player and average daily players on its way to becoming the most played Call of Duty multiplayer in the first 50 days since launch in six years.
Activision also confirmed that Modern Warfare has passed $1 billion in worldwide sell through through the end of November 2019 and is the best selling premium game of 2019. There has been over 500 million hours played and over 300 million MP matches played thus far.
The award-winning title, which has sold more than $1 billion in sell-through worldwide, has surpassed 500 million multiplayer hours played since release with nearly 300 million multiplayer matches. Upon release, the title featured a series of firsts for Call of Duty, including crossplay and cross-progression support, as well as the removal of Season Pass and delivery of new post-release content coming free to all players on all platforms.
Activision re-highlighted that brand new content is coming to the game today, including new MP maps and modes.
"We're bringing our players together to play across all platforms and that continues today with a new wave of content coming to everyone for free," said Patrick Kelly, co-studio head and creative director for developer Infinity Ward. "Starting today Vacant and Shipment are in full multiplayer rotation. Players can also jump into new Gunfight maps, play a new Special Ops mission and play fun new modes, starting with Cranked."
Juggernaut. That's all that needs to be said.
