Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II Hits $1 Billion in Revenue
The game has surpassed $1 billion in revenue in just 10 days of its release becoming the fastest Call of Duty title to hit this milestone.
Activision has revealed that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II has generated over $1 billion in the first ten days of its release which, according to the publisher, makes it the "highest grossing entertainment opening of 2022." The new figure also means that the game managed to beat the previous franchise's record set in 2012 by Black Ops II which made $1 billion in 15 days.
The news follows Activision's previous announcement that Modern Warfare II generated $800 million in revenues in the first three days after its release becoming the fastest-selling title in the series. While it's a pretty good result, the fastest-selling game of all time based on launch revenue remains Take-Two's Grand Theft Auto V which generated $1 billion in the first three days of its release.
In addition to the announcement that Modern Warfare II has earned more than $1 billion, Activision also shared that players have collectively racked up over 200 million hours of game time and played over 1 billion multiplayer matches across all the available platforms in the first 10 days of the game's release.
"The incredible momentum driving Modern Warfare II is a direct reflection of the energy and passion of the Call of Duty community," General Manager of Call of Duty Johanna Faries said. "As we look ahead to an unprecedented level of support for Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2.0’s launch next week, we are motivated to deliver again for the best player community in the world."
