Publisher Activision and developers Treyarch and Raven Software have announced Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 had the biggest three-day launch in Call of Duty history.
It was number one in the franchise in terms of total players, hours played, and total matches.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella today also revealed the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 set a record for the number of new Xbox Game Pass subscribers added in a single day.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 sales are also up over 60 percent compared to last year's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on PlayStation and Steam.

How many SALES? Without knowing that its only half of the cake.
It's typical MS propaganda. MS stop giving sales of anything long ago because its actually embarrassing for them to give real numbers and they wouldn't be able to spin the new around lol
This also apply to the majority in this business. If any company banked in serious numbers they would announce it proudly.
I truly dislike these poorly written statements with so much shallow data.
I get way Satya does that, like when he told us there are now 500m MAU.
But as if they weren't able to specify them a tad more and couldn't collect more data. As the world's largest software company.
Right.
He's announcing the data that Investers want to hear... not Gamers
So that's why they don't announce console units sold then?
Microsoft's investors don't care about consoles sold.
When the press release for MS Investors meetings drops, no one is asking questions about console sales, it's all monthly active users.
On the contrary, Investors for Sony and Nintendo are always asking about plans regarding console sales at quarterly meetings.
"When the press release for MS Investors meetings drops, no one is asking questions about console sales, it's all monthly active users."
I truly dislike this legend building.
As if console sales, as soon as Microsoft had entered the console business, didn't mean a thing at all.
Strangely though, this type of argument is relatively young. Like 2 years young. And was created as soon as the Series consoles again fell behind PS5.
And as soon as the merger with ABK came around.
Seriously, ABK gotten greenlit benefits this relatively young "argument" SO much.
And it would fall apart as soon one imagine the merger had been forbidden.
Sorry, but I am not buying into that specific legend building around "Xbox never cared, investors never cared."
Gamepass likely the reason for record players etc.
Wasn't that the whole point?
The point of having CoD on GP is to increase subscription numbers, or to give those with a subscription more of a reason to stay. If ppl who already own GP are looking to try the latest CoD, but only put like 30min total into the game, then you have somebody who isn’t further compelled to stick with GP nor somebody who’s purchasing GP for CoD. Hence, they contribute nothing to the inclusion of CoD on GP despite counting as a day one “purchase”.
That being said, I believe StriderKiwi’s point here is that the numbers are inflated by this type of consumer, which is irrelevant to your comment, HMH.
i gave up COD years ago but congrats!!! those are huge numbers
They made a well designed and solid CoD games, well deserved.
