Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is now the biggest launch in the history of the Call of Duty series. Activision has announced in a press release that the game has sold $800 million in only three days, breaking the record established by Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 in 2011. According to the press announcement, Modern Warfare II has become the biggest entertainment opening of 2022, exceeding the box office openers of ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ and ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness combined – rather outstanding.

More than that, the current installment from developer Infinity Ward has broken all previous records for the premium launch of the franchise in terms of both the number of players and the total amount of time they spent playing.
