As if you needed more reasons to believe Call of Duty’s Black Ops 6 is a massive hit? How about checking out the stats and numbers associated with the biggest first person drop of the year? Say less.

From having the most gamers in a 72-hour time frame to total amount of hours clocked in - it’s all types of bragging rights for the COD community.

Here's what Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, said in their first quarter earnings call today:

"Last week’s launch of Black Ops 6 was the biggest Call of Duty release ever, setting a record for day one players, as well as Game Pass subscriber adds on launch day. Unit sales on PlayStation and Steam were also up over 60 percent year-over-year."

Matt Cox, SVP, GM of Call of Duty had this to say about the launch:

“Thank you to our players around the world for making Black Ops 6 the biggest Call of Duty launch ever. Our goal from the start has been to bring this great game to as many players as possible wherever they are, however they play. Black Ops 6 is an amazing game, and the response from the Call of Duty community has been incredible. This is only the beginning. Nuketown is only days away and Season 1 is right around the corner. We’re just getting started.”
