Call of Duty Warzone and Modern Warfare Register Insane Numbers

Similarly, Call of Duty Modern Warfare has also achieved unprecedented heights of success. Released in October, Modern Warfare has “sold through more units and has more players than any prior Call of Duty title at this point after its release.” That is according to the financial statement released by Activision today.?

The Battle Royale can be downloaded as a stand-alone, free-to-play title. However, the fact it shares cross-progression with MW surely convinced many to buy MW as well.
