Call of Duty: Warzone gets 50 million players one-month post-launch

Activision’s Call of Duty: Warzone, the new battle royale (BR) mode from its developer Infinity Ward has acquired over 50 million players four weeks post its launch, the gaming giant said on Friday.

“Over 50 million players. Thank you #Warzone players for dropping in with us. #FreeCallofDuty,” Activision tweeted from its official Call of Duty account.

Activision’s previous battle royale title, Blackout was made available for limited players. It could only be played within 2018’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Unlike Blackout, Warzone was released as a standalone download for consoles and PC. Players need not own any special software to install the game. Warzone is also available as a free download, further boosting its popularity.
