According to Insider Gaming , Call of Duty is a game franchise that is inherently very famous in terms of revenue, but based on recently revealed court documents from Microsoft, this franchise not only brings in a lot of money, but a lot of money for Activision.
Accordingly, the recent court hearing between Microsoft and the FTC brought a lot of interesting news to the gaming industry. In particular, the technology giant recently leaked an important and never-before-revealed information to the internet.
Call of Duty has brought in $27 billion in revenue for Activision
More specifically, multiple sources have revealed that Call of Duty as a gaming franchise has grossed over $27 billion over its 20-year existence. This figure is from 2020, so the franchise is now well past the $30 billion mark, with the explosive reception of Warzone and Modern Warfare II , the latter of which earned $1 billion in just 10 days.
It's hard to get exact figures, but according to some sources, the sales figures revealed could make Call of Duty the second highest-grossing game series of all time, behind Pokémon . In addition, the game franchise also boasts a staggering 7-10 million active players every day.
The impressive achievements of the game series are raising the question of whether the nearly 70 billion USD that Microsoft wants to spend to own Activision Blizzard, is a smart move for the technology giant to fully own this money-making game brand?
