![Call Of Duty Becomes Most-Played Game On Xbox After Incredible Black Ops 6 Launch](https://images.purexbox.com/02422f6eedd02/call-of-duty-becomes-most-played-game-on-xbox-after-incredible-black-ops-6-launch.900x.jpg)
After playing host to Activision's most-successful Call of Duty launch month of all time, Black Ops 6 has now become to the most played game on Xbox in the US - beating out some huge free-to-play titles in the process.
Yep, if you check the current most-played Xbox games list in the US, Call of Duty is top of the pile - ahead of Fortnite, ROBLOX, Minecraft, GTAV and more. Here in the UK, COD is currently second place, with Epic's behemoth that is Fortnite still topping the charts over here.
As Klobrille's tweet hints at up above, Call of Duty's top-of-the-chart position is technically the 'Call of Duty' hub, and not solely Black Ops 6. However, there's no way to separate the two with the series' current release format - and BO6 has hugely contributed to this success either way.
As many of you will know by now, this latest COD title was the first to ever launch day one on Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass service. Despite the game's inclusion in the monthly subscription program, sales have remained incredibly strong, largely due to sustained popularity on PS4 and PS5 consoles.

Every mode is a joy to play the campaign multiplayer zombies are all great 10/10 for the game that it is!
@Ricky-Spanish it's ridiculously good right now. I don't play a lot, but i try to get about a level a session if not more in MP. I can't really say there is a single map I hate. Almost done with the campaign too. Very impressed by what they've accomplished this go-around.
Treyarch cooked
Enjoyed the campaign and continue to have fun with the MP. I'm not getting much better at it but it's replaced ea fc as my short amount time game of choice.
@Kezelpaso As I said on the other post, could this be because COD now has a unified launcher so whether you are playing BO3, MW or Warzone it all counts towards the same numbers?
EDIT: Not trying to diminish it's success, COD is a behemoth as ever, I just don't trust cherry picked statistics without hard numbers and methodology. Although to be fair Fortnite has been adding extra games and modes within their game which will boost their numbers, so why not others.
@themightyant Yep, I tried to explain this by saying this is for the Call of Duty Hub app.
But, BO6 will have still massively contributed to it beating the likes of FN and Roblox. It's a shame we can't see the BO6 numbers specifically...
My kids are totally hooked on it with their friends. I had a good time with the campaign and zombies is a pretty good time as well. Brilliant move putting it on GP!
@Kezelpaso I can't blame them as we both said their competition is doing the same, launching multiple games from the one launcher. But it makes these stats even more meaningless to me, none of these "games"/launchers are playing by the same rules as all the other games. But i'm a pedant when it comes to stats and authenticity! Sadly it's far too easy to have the wool pulled over your eyes.
Fortnite: Ha, look how many dull, dimwitted, low level D-tier Neanderthals we can get to do nothing more than just run around in circles shooting at each other, dying, and repeating for hours on end!
BO6: Hold my beer.
Cod bo6 so far was the biggest game on GP. And from the reports we see that it did not hurt overall sales much (down on xbox offset by ps5/pc) but boosted GP and introduced new audience. Thats probably ideal title for pass - multiplayer game with content thru the year and it releases every year. Literally 60% of yearly sub right away (if include cost of GP core + the game)
It is a superb game. Top stuff. Love the zombies most. Just pure, unadulterated fun.
Remember when PlayStation gamers claimed the franchise would only "fall further under" with Microsoft acquiring Activision?
Well I many of them are trying to walk back their words.
@Ricky-Spanish I like the campaign, minus the zombies part.
@KvallyX I'm right with you there that was the worst part for me aswell!
Great minds think alike 🧎🙆💪
