What is the most played CoD in 2024?

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

The most played Call of Duty game in 2024 so far is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II along with the revamped battle royale Warzone 2.0. According to Steam charts, MWII and Warzone 2 have maintained an average concurrent player count of over 100,000 on Steam alone in 2024. With console and other platforms included, the true number is even higher.

MWII quickly became the fastest selling entry in Call of Duty history after its October 2022 release. The slick modern military campaign and updates to competitive multiplayer have resonated strongly with fans. Meanwhile, Warzone 2.0 also debuted in late 2022 with a fresh new map and quality of life changes that have kept the battle royale thriving.

Exciting 20th Anniversary Events Planned

2023 also marks the 20th anniversary of the Call of Duty franchise, first launching in 2003. There are awesome in-game cosmetic rewards up for grabs along with big esports events on the horizon.

The inaugural World Series of Warzone tournament takes place in April 2023 with over $1 million in prizes up for grabs. There is also speculation that fan favorite maps from older Modern Warfare titles could return in celebration of the franchise history later this year.

New Premium CoD Game Now Releasing in 2024

Initially, Activision planned to skip the annual premium release in 2024 and instead support Modern Warfare II with paid DLC. However, Bloomberg reported that a yet to be revealed Call of Duty game is now slated for 2023 after all.

This new entry will likely feature a full single player campaign and new multiplayer maps. Rumors point to a sequel to the original Black Ops or fan favorite entries getting remastered campaigns. More details should emerge in coming months. For now, MWII and Warzone 2 remain the most played with the mysterious 2023 game aiming to dethrone them.

Uncertain Future Beyond 2023…

While Modern Warfare II rules 2023, the future of Call of Duty after this year is unclear. A rumor from reputable Call of Duty insider Tom Henderson claims Activision could skip the annual release again in 2024 and have Sledgehammer Games launch a new entry in 2026 instead.

Other leaks point to Sledgehammer developing a sequel to Advanced Warfare for 2025. With so much speculation and Activision yet to outline firm plans, the next few years of the franchise are very uncertain beyond 2023.

One thing more concrete is that Warzone Mobile is in development and expected to eventually replace Call of Duty: Mobile. So Warzone will likely be the connective focus of the franchise across platforms in coming years.
