An incredible milestone. Congrats to the Activision team. And to the players, thank you for being with us. https:\/\/t.co\/AlpXydEQIQ<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cantworkitout\/status\/2114787993114591335\">October 26, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<div class=\"see-more__filter\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>$40 billion in lifetime revenue places Call of Duty behind goliaths like Mario and Pok\u00e9mon. It also means that Call of Duty, on average, has earned $4,762,472 a day, which is particularly terrifying if you ask me. <\/p>\n<p>But how it got there is an entirely different question\u2014one that can be answered by the ravenous appetite of consumers in the free market. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/uk\/call-of-duty-black-ops-3\/\">Call of Duty: Black Ops 3<\/a> still sits at the top spot with over 43 million copies sold, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-2019\/\">Modern Warfare (2019)<\/a> comes in a close second with over 41 million copies sold. But by and large, the popularity of Call of Duty is driven by Black Ops, namely its older titles. <\/p>\n<p>The prize for most successful launch, however, has to go to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-2-2022\/\">Modern Warfare 2 (2022)<\/a> which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/modern-warfare-2-is-the-best-launch-in-cods-history-after-selling-dollar1-billion-in-10-days\/\">earned $1 billion in just 10 days<\/a> alongside 200 million hours played. This followed Activision Blizzard&#8217;s sale to Microsoft, which also meant that Modern Warfare 2 was the first time a Call of Duty game had been on Steam since 2017 with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/call-of-duty-wwii\/\">Call of Duty: WW2<\/a>\u2014it even made it into Steam&#8217;s top 10 games by concurrent players. <\/p>\n<p>The ridiculous release schedule of one Call of Duty game a year certainly seems to be working for Activision. I doubt it would&#8217;ve been able to pass this landmark without the tireless work of Infinity Ward, Treyarch, Sledgehammer Games, and Raven Software pumping out something new year after year. At this rate I&#8217;m pretty sure the Call of Duty franchise will outlive us all. Picture this: the dry arid landscape of an Earth pillaged and then left void of humanity, with the sole proof of our existence being the 15th Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 remaster (2193)\u2014I hope it&#8217;s good. <\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"2b75f358-d20c-11f1-936f-09fdf565c581\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:661px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:98.94%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"6offQUY4CXebir2TC27dMd\" name=\"kingdom come 2 square\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/call-of-duty-passes-40-billion-in-lifetime-revenue-making-it-one-of-the-most-lucrative-videogame-franchises-ever.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"661\" height=\"654\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-pc-games-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"2b75f358-d20c-11f1-936f-09fdf565c581\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2026 games<\/strong><\/a>: All the upcoming games<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/call-of-duty\/call-of-duty-passes-usd40-billion-in-lifetime-revenue-making-it-one-of-the-most-lucrative-videogame-franchise-ever\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been 22 years, 11 months, 28 days and counting since we were first graced with Call of Duty.
