Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4 Has A Great Opening Weekend

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is about to start. Activision has announced that it has achieved a turnover of $ 500 million over the first three days, as well as a high number of players demonstrating that the popularity of the franchise is still strong. This estimate includes retail and digital sales as well as seasonal packages. As a result, the UK broke digital sales records even as physical sales were down.

During the first three days, Activision boasted that Black Ops 4 set a new franchise record on the current generation consoles for most players combined, the average hours per player and the total number of players. hours played. This figure may imply that a previous Call of Duty had higher figures on the last generation, or when the generations were divided, but it's still an impressive achievement.

He also found that the combined number of players in his three modes during those first three days was greater than the same period for Call of Duty: WW2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 3. That's a favorable comparison for the management of Black Ops 4., which traded a single solo campaign against the new Blackout mode. This serves as a solid basis for believing that the compromise was worth it.

Activision's progress to Blizzard's Battle.net site also shows signs of growth as PC gamers more than doubled in a year over the first three days. This is the first Call of Duty to use Battle.net, after Activision opened the Destiny 2 partnership door. Finally, it set a new one-day record for full digital game sales on the PlayStation Store and a record for the bestseller Activision Digital Game on Xbox One.

Black Ops 4 features three multiplayer modes: the traditional multiplayer mode, the Zombies and the new Blackout Battle Royale, with no single single player campaign. The decision was an experience for the series, but the critics as a whole seem to either appreciate the change or not worry about the missing mode. In GameSpot's Black Ops 4 review, Kallie Plagge tackled the change. "Of course, there is no traditional player campaign, but with the depth and breadth of what exists, Black Ops 4 does not need it," she said.
