Launched just a week ago, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has already made a significant impact, reportedly attracting more Xbox players than PlayStation players. According to leaker eXtas1s, this marks a historic moment for the franchise, as PlayStation has traditionally seen a more extensive player base for Call of Duty titles.
The game’s inclusion in Xbox Game Pass likely plays a significant role in this shift, making it more accessible to a wider audience and encouraging players to choose the Microsoft console version.
Other Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 records
According to leaker reports, players on PC have also preferred the Game Pass version of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, with more users opting for it over the Steam version.
Additionally, this franchise installment has generated the highest revenue at launch in the last decade, contributing to a record number of subscribers for Xbox Game Pass—an outcome that analysts had anticipated.
However, it’s important to note that neither Activision nor Microsoft has officially confirmed these details. Studios typically provide statistics about their games after some time, but Xbox rarely shares subscriber numbers for Game Pass.
It’s impossible to track the number of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players on Steam because the game operates through its launcher. Nonetheless, it is ranked among the top 10 most-played titles, and it currently stands as the second best-selling game on Valve’s platform.
The success of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on Game Pass aligns with Microsoft’s strategy following its acquisition of Activision Blizzard in a monumental deal valued at over $70 billion.
