Over the past year, according to a recent report,<\/a> Activision has lost 50 million players from its Call of Duty series<\/a>. Even for an incredibly successful franchise like Call of Duty, 50 million players amount to a substantial part of the game’s userbase, making this loss of players come as a shock to many fans.<\/p>\n Here are the reasons Activision cites for the loss in players, and what it means for Call of Duty players and the games they love.<\/p>\n Activision explained the reasons for the large decline in players in their Q1 financial report<\/a>, which revealed an overall decrease in Call of Duty sales. Most of the losses were attributed to the Call of Duty: Vanguard and Call of Duty: Warzone’s lack of popularity; Call of Duty Mobile, on the other hand, seems to be doing quite well.<\/p>\n “Call of Duty net bookings on console and PC declined year-over-year in the first quarter, reflecting lower premium sales for Call of Duty: Vanguard versus the year-ago title and lower engagement in Call of Duty: Warzone,” the report read. “Call of Duty Mobile net bookings were little changed year-over-year.”<\/p>\n Many of Activision’s overall losses for the quarter were apparently because of Call of Duty’s Warzone and Vanguard titles.<\/p>\n “Financial performance declined year-over-year, primarily reflecting lower results for Call of Duty and product cycle timing at Blizzard,” the report further explained.<\/p>\n While no official Warzone player counts have been published to suggest that the game has had a massive loss in players, Activision announced in August 2021 that Warzone reached 100 million players<\/a>.<\/p>\n Call of Duty Mobile, on the other hand, brings in approximately 30 million players daily, with 210 million players actively playing the game, according to activeplayer.io<\/a>.<\/p>\n That’s why Call of Duty lost 50 million players in the past year, and what Activision is saying about it.<\/p>\n For more Call of Duty news, tips, and guides for all the games in the franchise, be sure to check out our dedicated Call of Duty<\/a> section!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Featured image courtesy of Activision.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Over the past year, according to a recent report, Activision has lost 50 million players from its Call of Duty series.
