Sales for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 are up 60% on PlayStation and Steam when compared to last year's entry, Modern Warfare 3, according to Treyarch Studios developer Miles Leslie. While Black Ops 6 has been heavily praised by both fans and critics for its stellar campaign, Sledgehammer Games' previous Call of Duty title was blasted for its short and lackluster story mode, which is likely one of the reasons for its poor sales when compared to this year's entry.
Following Microsoft's acquisition of Activision-Blizzard, Black Ops 6 became the first Call of Duty title to launch day one on Xbox Game Pass, and it's been a huge success for both Microsoft and Call of Duty publisher Activision. According to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Black Ops 6 broke records at launch, becoming the "biggest Call of Duty release ever" with a record number of day one players. The shooter also resulted in Xbox's lucrative subscription service spiking in users, as Nadella says Game Pass saw an increase in subscribers when Black Ops 6 hit the service.
