Call of Duty: Warzone hits 100 million downloads
Call of Duty: Warzone has crossed into new territory with 100 million downloads since its launch in March 2020.
The free-to-play game debuted as a battle royale mode for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare on March 10, 2020, just as lockdown began in the United States. Like many other games, it became immensely popular as a distraction from the brutal reality of the pandemic.
I’ve enjoyed it, and I can understand why so many have played, even with controversies like lots of cheaters and guns that have been periodically nerfed. It’s one of the games that, along with the 300 million downloads of Call of Duty: Mobile, have helped the Call of Duty franchise grow even more.
It’s a compelling game, but it’s not easy to win. One-hundred-fifty players compete in a fight to the finish. You can play solo or join teams of three or four squadmates. But only one team comes out as the winner as a shrinking circle forces everyone together on the battleground.
