The number of players on Steam had already indicated the game’s success, but it is now official: Call of Duty Black Ops 6 has become a massive global hit. During its latest financial report, Activision disclosed that this is the best launch for a Call of Duty game since the franchise began. Although specific figures were not provided, according to data from the American publisher, it is the Call of Duty game with the most players, accumulating the highest number of hours and matches played. Additionally, the number of Game Pass subscribers experienced its largest increase on a game release day, while sales increased by 60% compared to last year on PlayStation and Steam.
Thank you to players worldwide for making Black Ops 6 the best launch of a Call of Duty game ever achieved. From the start, our goal has been to offer this game to as many players as possible, wherever they are and however they play. Black Ops 6 is an extraordinary game and the community’s response has been incredible. And that’s just the beginning, stated Matt Cox, General Manager of Call of Duty.
Expected success during the end-of-year holidays is anticipated as the game will undoubtedly receive numerous updates, including the arrival of the iconic Nuketown map as early as tomorrow. Activision takes this opportunity to announce that the series has surpassed 500 million units sold, making it one of the most lucrative globally.
