Call of Duty: Warzone Reaches 6 Million Players In Its First 24 Hours – Call of Duty: Warzone, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s free-to-play battle royale mode, has been played by over 6 million players in its first 24 hours.

It will be interesting to see how Warzone fairs in its first week, and see if it can come close to Call of Duty: Mobile’s record breaking 100 million downloads.

For comparison, Apex Legends drew in 2.5 million players in its first 24 hours back in February 2019 and reached 10 million its first 3 days.

Call of Duty: Warzone released on March 10 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC and includes two modes: Plunder and a 150-player battle royale mode.
