Call of Duty: Warzone it seems that is still far from reaching its ceiling. Activision Blizzard recently shared their financial results report of the first quarter of what we have been doing since and, thanks to this, we have learned that one of the great points of it is that the Battle Royale has already overcome the barrier of 60 million players since its launch last March.
More than 60 million players
COD: Warzone se premiere on March 10 2020, but already competes in numbers with genre heavyweights like Fortnite (with up to 250 million players last year), Apex Legends (with 70 million in October 2019) or PUBG (400 million). Warzone has only been on the market for two months and already has more than 60 million of players.
It is a spectacular figure and the game is having a phenomenal rate of growth. It must be remembered that in its first 24 hours it had garnered 6 million players, in three days 15 million, in ten days 30 million and by the time it had been a month it reached 50 million. The game, available at PC, PS4 and Xbox One has made the Activision revenue grow like foam. The company confirmed during the last meeting of shareholders that they have increased their profits in 956 million dollars thanks especially to Warzone micropayments.
Record for COD: Modern Warfare

The success of COD: Warzone has had a direct impact on the success of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and it is that they have recorded record numbers for the shooter. To date, Modern Warfare is known to have sold more units outside of its launch quarter than any previous franchise title.

Sales are accelerated in March, coinciding with the premiere of Warzone and the increase in demand due to the quarantine conditions imposed in several important countries by the coronavirus crisis. Activision has also taken the opportunity to discuss its plans for the near future. For example, they have talked about status of the new Call of Duty that we will see, predictably, in the last months of this 2020 and they have also said that they continue to work on two still unannounced games of their own sagas.
