It seems like Call of Duty has bounced again after some disappointing outcomes final yr.
We already knew that Call of Duty WW2’s bodily gross sales had been up massively on 2016’s Infinite Warfare, however the recreation’s Steam stats recommend that it’s the preferred Call of Duty recreation in a while.
According to Githyp, WW2 has seen a peak participant depend of 56,000 since its debut final week in multiplayer alone. Coupled with gamers in marketing campaign, it hit 76,000 – an enormous enchancment on Infinite Warfare’s highest peak of 15,000 gamers.
To be clear, Infinite Warfare’s gross sales figures were still amazing, even when gamers dropped right off. Call of Duty has been extra fashionable on console than PC for a very long time now, too. So all of this means that the sport is doing very nicely.
To discover a Call of Duty that has carried out higher on Steam you must go all the way in which again to Black Ops 2 – a recreation so enduringly fashionable that in 2014 twice as many people were playing it because the extra recently-released Ghosts, and when it turned backwards appropriate on Xbox One in April it outsold Infinite Warfare for the month.
On Steam, Black Ops 2 peaked at 70,000 gamers in multiplayer, and for the multiplayer 99,000 total. Numbers have gone down since then, however WW2 has been fashionable sufficient that Sledgehammer Games is struggling to keep it stable.
It looks as if Call of Duty followers had been extraordinarily prepared for a return to World War 2 – or, maybe, after drifting away from the sequence something that appeared completely different from the previous few years of releases would have been an excellent match. In any case, should you’re after a brand new Call of Duty, you may be assured that this one is more likely to stay populated for some time.
