Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Tops Steam Charts in Early Access
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4's early access period saw over 108,000 concurrent players on Steam, surpassing its predecessor. The game also received high ratings.
Activision Blizzard's latest title, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, has experienced a strong start in its early access phase. The game recorded a peak of over 108,000 concurrent players on Steam, exceeding the 100,000 peak players achieved by its predecessor, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, during its launch weekend.
The robust initial player count suggests significant market interest and provides a positive indicator for the publisher. Modern Warfare 4 is also achieving high player satisfaction, marked by a "Very Positive" rating on Steam, based on nearly 2,000 reviews. This positions it as the highest-rated Call of Duty title on the platform in over a decade.
Reports indicate that the game's single-player campaign is a primary draw, featuring a mix of returning and new characters, alongside well-produced cutscenes and varied missions. However, the campaign's length is estimated at around 8 hours.
Looking ahead, the long-term engagement of the player base will likely depend on the performance and content of the game's online multiplayer modes. Industry analysts will be observing how well the game sustains its player numbers post-launch.
