It looks like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 had fewer active players at launch in the US compared to last year's Black Ops 7

It's been speculated for a while that Call of Duty may be losing its lustre. Although we don't have concrete data with detailed statistics for each game released in the last several years, there's an observable trend in player numbers that's hard to ignore. US market analysis firm Circana published some data showing player engagement with Modern Warfare 4 following its launch, and compared them to those by Black Ops 7 . The data is based on Circana's proprietary Player Engagement Tracker, which tracks player activity in the US across Steam and PlayStation, and worldwide on Xbox.
