Game News Call of Duty: How many simultaneous players on Warzone 2, MW2 and CoD Mobile? Now we know!
To share :
If you are told Call of Duty, you are probably thinking of Modern Warfare 2 or Warzone 2.0, the two big productions currently followed by Activision. But “COD” is a whole galaxy of titles, including Call of Duty Mobile. And for the first time, we know how many people are playing all three games.
Call of Duty, an industry juggernaut
The Call of Duty license goes far beyond the simple framework of video games, since even people who don’t play know the name. Like Pikachu, Mario, Zelda, Candy Crush or even The Witcher from the Netflix series. Annualized since 2005, the series returns each year with at least one new episode, and 2022 was no exception to the rule. So came Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0, which quickly filled Activision’s pockets. The billion dollars generated was quickly reached by the “premium” game, and players switched to Warzone 2.0 at the end of the year.
Despite the criticisms, which range from the very purpose of the game to imbalances through cheating or the frequency of updatesCall of Duty is still a hit, a few months before his 20th birthday. The weight of the license is as it is at heart of the debates concerning the acquisition of Activision Blizzard King by Microsoft. The main competitor, Sony, is afraid to see Call of Duty become an exclusiveand uses the license as an example that the buyout, estimated at nearly $69 billion, would create a big competitive imbalance.

We are not there yet, but on the other hand, we now know how many people can be gathered on the servers of the different games. The information comes to us straight from the south of Spain, near Málaga. In the heart of the Andalusian city, a video game museum has just opened its doors. He is named OXO Museum, and hit the spot last night at a grand opening night. In the middle of the exhibits, a screen, which displays the number as “1,104,383”. This number would correspond to the number of players connected last night at 7 p.m. on Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Warzone 2.0, and Call of Duty: Mobile.
The photo was taken by a certain FlexZ, content creator for MADLion, and sent to our colleagues at Insiders Gaming. In details, 424,000 people played Warzone 2, 184,000 Modern Warfare 2 and 406,000 Call of Duty Mobile. What put into perspective the “loss of speed” of the license, with data indicating that Warzone 2 retention not as high as expected or hoped.
But this total number displayed at the OXO Museum is it reliable? According to the staff, yes, because the museum would have received permission to display the number of players connected in real time within the framework of the exhibition. Activision has been contacted to provide additional information, but the publisher has not replied yet. The measurement was certainly made at a time T, but it gives a small idea of what call of duty stands for in its entirety. Something to reassure players about the future of their favorite license, which they say it would do deadlock on 2023 by favoring the release of “live” content for games that have already been released? The coming months will allow us to know more.
