Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella discussed the performance of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 over its opening weekend. According to him, the game has already become the largest launch in the franchise’s history.

QA department employees of Activision in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, organized a strike with the support of the American union CWA. The main reason is the complete cancellation of remote and hybrid work formats.

Black Ops 6 has topped the weekly chart of the best-selling physical games in the UK, according to GfK data. However, the game’s launch did not perform as well as the previous installment in the series.

The top-grossing game on Steam for the week from October 22 to 29 was predictably Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. The new shooter from Activision climbed nine ranks in the charts, dethroning Counter-Strike 2.

Black Ops 6 successfully launched on Steam, despite a simultaneous release on Game Pass. According to SteamDB, the peak concurrent player count for the main Call of Duty HQ application reached 306,460 during the first weekend following the release of the new series installment.

Activision’s Chief Marketing Officer Tyler Bahl shared details about the promotion of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. He mentioned that the marketing budget for the game was no less than that of any major blockbuster film this year.
