Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is by far the most popular Call of Duty game we’ve seen in year, but recent data published by GamesIndustry.biz<\/a> shows that Modern Warfare 2 was also the highest-selling game in the month of October within Europe; despite having only released on October 28.<\/p>\n

It’s been almost 15 days since the release of the game, but it already looks as though it’s set to match the lifetime sales of the Sledgehammer Games outing from 2021.<\/p>\n

“Modern Warfare 2 — after just two weeks — is already on the brink of out-selling Call of Duty: Vanguard’s lifetime performance across European markets” Christopher Dring,<\/a> Head of Games B2B at GamesIndustry.Biz explained earlier this morning.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, Modern Warfare 2 is remarkably the third best-selling game of the year (after just two weeks) just behind the sales for Elden Ring, widely regarded as one of the games of the year.<\/p>\n

Activision also confirmed that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is by far the fastest-selling game in the franchise, with over $1 Billion in sales in 10 days.<\/p>\n

This record was previously held by Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, which took 15 days to reach the Billion Dollars figure in 2012. Over a billion multiplayer games have also been played across all platforms, including PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4,  Xbox Series X\/S, and PC.<\/p>\n
