The new shooter Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 seems to have gotten off to an excellent start in every respect. The title is also on record course on the PlayStation.
On the PC, the return on Steam for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has already more than paid off, as countless PC players romped around in the new shooter and set a new user record within the franchise by a huge margin. But the shooter is not only doing very well on Steam, it apparently also got off to a good start on the PlayStation.
So hat Sony PlayStation via Twitter has now confirmed that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on PS4 and PS5 has marked the biggest launch of a Call of Duty game ever on PlayStation Store. This refers to the sales figures on the first day and the pre-orders in the digital store; However, physical versions of the game may not have been included, since there are often no reliable figures so early on. Nonetheless, Sony was already able to congratulate Activision on its success.
Congratulations to @InfinityWard and @Activision on the biggest PlayStation Store launch EVER for a Call of Duty game (including preorders and day one sales).

As a result, the franchise not only seems to be continuing its dominance, but is even taking it one step further this year. In almost every year since 2010, a Call of Duty has almost always been the best-selling title at the end of the year. Only GTA V in 2013 and Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2018 were able to interrupt this run.
The chances seem good that Modern Warfare 2 will also take the top spot among the best-selling offshoots of the series in the medium term. To date, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, released in 2019, is #1 on this internal ranking with over 30 million copies sold.
After years of hiatus, Felix has played another campaign in the series with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. Did she pick him up or is it just out of breath?
