Xbox's Call Of Duty Series Has Now Sold Over 500 Million Copies

During Microsoft's recent earnings call, the team touched on Black Ops 6 being the biggest launch in franchise history, and now some additional context from The Washington Post tells us that the Call of Duty series has sold over 500 million units to date.

Yep, Activision Blizzard provided the news to the outlet, making this one of the most successful gaming franchises in the history of the medium. The team's latest release, Black Ops 6, has pushed the series beyond this new, half a billion sales milestone.

This news comes despite the 2024 release being the first-ever Call of Duty game to launch on Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass subscription service. Game Pass access won't contribute to this new sales figure of course, but that doesn't seem to have slowed things down too much - especially given that Microsoft is still selling the game on PlayStation consoles.

As we've known for a while, then, Call of Duty is an absolute juggernaut of a series, and now Microsoft is the main beneficiary of that success. Said success isn't just commercial either, Black Ops 6 is the best Call of Duty in a while - it's earned an 'Excellent 9/10' score here in our Pure Xbox review.
