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

Reasons why Call of Duty lost 50m players<\/h2>\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
