Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 Is The Franchise’s Biggest Launch In History

As a seasoned gamer with decades of gaming under my belt, I must confess that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has truly outdone itself. The hype surrounding this release was palpable, and it’s not often that a game lives up to such expectations, but Black Ops 6 has managed to do just that.


Story Highlights

  • Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is the newest iteration in the long-running Call of Duty franchise.
  • The game has now been deemed the biggest launch in the history of Call of Duty. 
  • The series itself has sold north of 500 million copies.

The excitement for Call of Duty: Black Oops 6 has been sky-high since its marketing began back in May, and this hype, along with the franchise’s storied history, has led to the biggest launch in the history of the Call of Duty series, as stated during Microsoft’s Q1 earnings call. Notably, even after Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision, the game continues to be available on multiple platforms.

Moving forward, our intellectual property (IP) is more robust than ever in our studios. Last week’s debut of Black Ops 6 marked the largest release for Call of Duty to date, breaking records for day one players and adding Game Pass subscribers on launch day. Additionally, unit sales for PlayStation and Steam increased by over 60% compared to the same time last year.

As someone who doesn’t stick around long in Call of Duty games, Black Ops 6 has turned out to be more than just a delightful surprise for me. A well-thought-out, impressively designed campaign, along with engaging multiplayer levels and the comeback of the classic Zombies mode are some aspects that have kept me hooked, and I’m sure many others here would agree as well.

According to an article published by The Washington Post, the popular video game series Call of Duty has now sold more than 500 million units worldwide, surpassing the 500 million (half-billion) mark.

Right In Time For The Weekend

Prior to the game’s launch a week ago, the developer decided to increase experience points (XP) for the entire weekend as a means to further increase the number of players. Unfortunately, my previous arrangements for the upcoming days now seem to be cancelled.

Discussing subscriber numbers for Black Ops 6’s Game Pass release, it’s not surprising to see an impressive spike due to the game’s inclusion in a monthly subscription priced at just $9.99. After all, gaining access to such a high-quality AAA title as part of a budget-friendly subscription is quite a draw! This is especially true when you consider that the company owning the product made a whopping $69 billion acquisition.

On October 25, 2024, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 hit the shelves for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and personal computers.
