Activision announced Tuesday that Call of Duty: Warzone 2 has surpassed 25 million players in its first five days.
Call of Duty’s official Twitter account made the announcement, thanking everyone for playing and making Warzone 2 such a success since its launch on Nov. 16, 2022. There wasn’t an exact numbers breakdown by platform, but the 25 million statistic accounts for players across PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
This news comes shortly after Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2‘s record-breaking earnings, bringing in over $1 billion in just 10 days. The sequel even outpaced Call of Duty: Vanguard‘s lifetime sales already, becoming the third best-selling game of 2022 behind Elden Ring and FIFA 23.

While we don’t have player count numbers for consoles, PC is a different story. According to SteamDB, Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 collectively had an all-time concurrent player count high of 491,670 as of Sunday — making this joint launch one of Steam’s biggest Call of Duty launches in history.
Fans recently found a hidden nuke in Warzone 2 and detonated it shortly after the discovery. Activision has plans for more community events like this as well, though none have yet to surface.
