According to new data, Call of Duty: Warzone 2 managed to surpass an incredible 25 million players just five days after launching.
As many would expect, this year’s Call of Duty installments have enjoyed remarkable success out of the gate.
Modern Warfare 2, for example, topped $800 million in sales revenue in only three days, making it the best entertainment launch of 2022.
The recent launch of Warzone 2.0 primes the brand for even more record-breaking accomplishments. And the latest news out of Activision suggests someone is already popping champagne in celebration.
Warzone 2’s number of players is nothing to scoff at
In a Twitter post on the official Call of Duty account, Activision announced that Warzone 2 has reached the 25-million player milestone.
The sequel accomplished such a feat only five days after going live on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms.
25 million constitutes an especially noteworthy figure when considering how many players Warzone reached in the same time frame two-plus years ago.
