Activision has revealed its Call Of Duty mobile game is becoming as popular as the PC and console versions of the game, with players spending over £810,000 last year.
The news comes via the company’s recent annual report which revealed Call Of Duty: Mobile has been downloaded 650 million times.
“We continued to demonstrate the potential for our console and PC franchises on mobile,” said a statement. “Call Of Duty: Mobile enjoyed a record year following its launch in China, with annual consumer spending on the title of well above $1 billion (£810,000).”
“Over 650 million people have downloaded Mobile around the world, and the number of people experiencing COD on mobile each month almost matched those playing on console and PC in 2021. This is no mean feat given the success of the free-to-play Warzone experience on console and PC.”
Activision also says there’s over 650 million downloads of Call of Duty: Mobile, and that active players on Mobile each month in 2021 almost matched the active console & PC player base.
