Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Is Breaking Records For Xbox When It Needs Them Most
- Call of Duty Black Ops 6 is breaking records and giving Xbox a boost since Microsoft acquired Activision Blizzard last October.
- Microsoft CEO, Satya Nadella, called Black Ops 6 the “biggest Call of Duty release ever”.
- During its release, the game set the record for most players, hours played and total matches of any game in the series.
- The game set a record for “Game Pass subscriber adds on launch day,” with sales up 60% on PlayStation and Steam from last year’s Modern Warfare 3.
- It’s the first entry in the series that launched on a subscription service and was supported with cloud gaming.
- Analysts are predicting the game’s launch could add another 4 million to the existing 34 million shared last February.
- Microsoft is a black box when it comes to sales data, so there is no total player count or sales figure available.
- Black Ops 6 has been garnering rave reviews following several middling to terrible entries.
- For Microsoft, this is a much-needed win for Xbox, which has seen a tumultuous year with mass layoffs and closures of beloved studios.
- Hardware sales continue to fall while game and service revenue continue to climb.
