A month has flown by since Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 made its debut on Xbox Game Pass and across various platforms, including the Xbox Series X|S. The game kicked off with a bang, setting new records from the get-go, and now Activision has some exciting news to share.
Their official social media channels have proudly announced that Black Ops 6 has achieved the distinction of being the most successful Call of Duty launch to date in its first month.
Activision remarked, “In the first 30 days post-launch, you’ve made Black Ops 6 the biggest Call of Duty ever. Huge thanks to the Call of Duty community for making the launch of Black Ops 6 one for the record books.”
This spectacular milestone highlights several impressive achievements: the highest ever "total players" engaged, the most "hours played," and the largest number of "total matches" played.
In a related tweet, the Call of Duty account expressed gratitude to the community, underscoring the record-breaking nature of Black Ops 6’s launch.
Even Microsoft’s CEO, Satya Nadella, chimed in back in October to affirm that Black Ops 6 was the biggest launch in the franchise’s history. Meanwhile, recent reports indicate that its inclusion on Xbox Game Pass hasn’t dented overall sales figures, which is great news for both fans and developers.
