As tweeted by the Twitter account, Benji-Sales (@BenjiSales), “Call of Duty Modern Warfare II has broken past 250,000+ Concurrent Players on Steam.” Moreover, he further puts forward that this is by far the biggest launch on Steam for the franchise. Above all, this comes after the game is tagged at a price of $70.

As projected in an image attached to the tweet, the game received around 255K player strength. Furthermore, Benji-Sales declared, “We don’t for sure know if it’s beaten Black Ops Cold War or Modern Warfare 2019 since those weren’t on Steam. That said it’s very likely it has, as Steam is far more popular of a storefront than just Activisions”

Evidently, it can be said that the video game has met the expectations of the players. Even though there have been crashing issues in the initial stages, gamers stick to one of the most coveted titles.

The fans have displayed their feelings toward Modern Warfare II

As soon as the above news surfaced on Twitter, fans wasted no time bombarding their feelings about such an achievement. A fan tweeted, “Goes to show 70 isn’t a problem. People pay for quality. Most of these sales will be from players that only buy one or two games a year. A 10 buck increase isn’t a problem.” Thus, clearly depicting that price does not jeopardize the game if it delivers a promising experience. Here are a few reactions of the fans to the tweet:
