According to the latest figures from Activision Blizzard, Warzone’s success has helped the Call of Duty franchise reach a staggering $30 billion revenue milestone.
Such high figures have become the norm for Activision’s flagship shooter series over the years. In 2020, for instance, the year in which Warzone became available, Call of Duty exceeded $3 billion in net bookings for the 12-month period.
That same summer saw Warzone and Modern Warfare (2019) rake in $500 million through in-game purchases alone.
Call of Duty’s console and PC outings aren’t the only experiences bringing in the big bucks, either. The most recent annual report from Activision confirmed that COD Mobile had topped 650 million downloads, almost matching the collective number of PC and console users.
