Black Ops 6 breaks multiple launch day records

After years of less-than-inspired Call of Duty releases, Treyarch’s Black Ops 6 has launched to solid reviews and even better sales performance. Following reports of records breaking ISP data use during the pre-load period, Microsoft has claimed that Black Ops 6 has been “the biggest Call of Duty release ever.”

As transcribed by The Verge’s Tom Warren, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella revealed that the recent launch of Black Ops 6 marks “the biggest Call of Duty release ever, setting a record for day one players as well as Game Pass subscriber adds on launch day.”

Additionally, sales on Steam and PlayStation were also up “over 60% year over year.”

Black Ops 6 Records

As with pretty much all Microsoft reports, we did not get any concrete numbers, instead preferring to offer relative sales data for comparison.

Following two consecutive years of Modern Warfare releases, it seems as though fans were yearning for a new entry in the Black Ops series. It will be interesting to see how the game performs in the long-run.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
