Black Ops 4 is Activions Biggest Digital Launch in its' History

We here at XBA think that a lot of people were waiting fo rthe latest Call of Duty game, and given the news we got from Activision, we were right. Black Ops 4 has set a new launch day record as the biggest day one digital release in Activision history.

Digital sales for the first day of release broke the franchise record set in 2017 by Call of Duty®: WWII. Released Friday, Black Ops 3 quickly became the best-selling Activision Xbox One digital game on day one, globally. The first Call of Duty release ever on Blizzard’s Battle.net, the PC version of Black Ops 4 also delivered a new franchise high in which launch day PC digital sales more than doubled year on year too.

In its first day of availability, the total number of people who connected online to play Black Ops 4 increased from last year’s release.

For a game that has no single player campaign, and one that focused on PvP, and some PvE, seems that the folks at Activision may have gotten it right on this one.
