Call Of Duty: Warzone Passes 30 Million Players In 10 Days

Only ten days after release, Call of Duty: Warzone looks like a massive hit with over 30 million players diving into the newest take on the battle royale genre. Like most titles in the genre, players can download Warzone for free, and now more than ever there is an abundance of time to play video games. After reaching more than six million players in its first 24 hours available, Warzone has now been played by more than 30 million players in its first 10 days. It’s an impressive achievement for the battle royale game, and a good sign for the title’s future success.

Activision tweeted:

“Over 30 million of you have dropped in to play Warzone. Thank you to this amazing community,”

By comparison, Apex Legends EA free-to-play Titanfall battle royale game attracted one million unique players the first eight hours of its debut and took 72 hours to hit 10 million players. Numbers continued to rise until it finally hit a peak of 50 million players a month later. Of course, it’s not really threatening Fortnite ’s crown just yet, though – the fan-favourite battle royale has now surpassed 250 million players worldwide.

As Jordan explained at the time, Warzone is a new free-to-play battle royale Call of Duty game that pits 150 players against each other across two modes: Plunder and Battle Royale. Plunder tasks you with collecting the most money through loot, stealing money, and completing in-game Contracts. Battle Royale is rather self-explanatory, with some welcome innovations like battles between eliminated players that let the winner respawn back into the game.

With many gamers currently self-isolating and looking to spend some time immersed in their favorite games, it stands to reason that Call of Duty: Warzone just might continue to put up impressive numbers for Activision. During that time, players will no doubt have greater opportunities to delve into the game, and it just might help Warzone find an even bigger audience.

Call of Duty Warzone is an 18-22GB download for Call of Duty Modern Warfare owners and an 80-101GB download for everybody else.
