Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II has reached $1 billion in global sell-through revenue in the first 10 days since its release on October 28, according to Activision Blizzard. Modern Warfare II surpassed the previous record-holder, Black Ops II ($1 billion in 15 days), by earning $1 billion more quickly than any other Call of Duty game.
This comes after Activision’s earlier disclosure that Modern Warfare II generated $800 million in worldwide sell-through revenue in just three days. Grand Theft Auto V by Take-Two, which generated $1 billion in sales in just three days, is still the fastest-selling game of all time based on launch revenue.
Activision also noted that over 1 billion matches and over 200 million hours of game time have been accumulated by Modern Warfare II gamers altogether.
The Call of Duty community’s enthusiasm and energy are directly reflected in Modern Warfare II, according to Call of Duty GM Johanna Faries. “As we prepare for an unprecedented level of support for the launch of Warzone 2.0 and Modern Warfare II the following week, we are eager to deliver once more for the best player community in the world.”
Warzone 2.0 will be released on November 16 as promised by Faries, and a spectacular launch is anticipated. Warzone Mobile, a new Call of Duty game, will debut in 2023.
