Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) has reached a 24-hour peak of 57,959 players on Steam following a 90% discount during the Spring Sale, exceeding the peak of 50,325 for the Call of Duty app that includes recent titles such as Black Ops 6 and Black Ops 7. The game is now priced at £4.99, a rare deep cut for the series. These figures exclude console players.
The 2019 reboot of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, known for its single-player campaign and multiplayer, has seen a significant player boost on Steam. During the ongoing Spring Sale, it received a 90% discount, reducing its price to £4.99. Such steep discounts are uncommon for Call of Duty titles; for comparison, the 2012 release Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 is only 67% off at £13.19 in the same sale. Notably, Modern Warfare (2019) is not integrated into the current Call of Duty HQ app, which bundles more recent entries and recorded a 24-hour peak of 50,325 players at the time of reporting. Recent Call of Duty games, including last year's Black Ops 7—which received mixed reviews but was among 2025's top-grossing releases—have seen lower popularity peaks on Steam. The source notes that Modern Warfare's current numbers also surpass those of Battlefield 6 in concurrent players, though Battlefield 6 had a higher 24-hour peak. These Steam statistics do not account for console audiences. Rumours suggest Modern Warfare 4 could be the 2026 Call of Duty release.
