Modern Warfare released over seven months ago, but it continues to sell incredibly well. It was the second best-selling game in April behind only Final Fantasy VII Remake. It’s also the best-selling game in 2020 and of the past 12 months.

In April, Modern Warfare even beat out the high-selling buzzsaw that is the Nintendo Switch’s Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

It’s not just the new title, either. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered released on PS4 at the end of March and on Xbox One and PC in April. In doing so, it became the seventh best-selling title of the month.

Driven by both the battle royale mode Warzone and Modern Warfare’s multiplayer, it’s clear that Call of Duty is as popular as ever. With the 2020 Call of Duty title due to be revealed in the coming weeks, there’s no end in sight to the series.

Other titles in April 2020’s top 10 include NBA 2K20, Grand Theft Auto V, Resident Evil 3 Remake, and MLB The Show 20.
