Call of Duty: Warzone is hemorrhaging players – losing a great number of active users over the past twelve months. It seems that 2021-2022 wasn’t a great year for Call of Duty: Warzone as the game loses 50 million players.
According to Activision’s first investor report for 2022, Call of Duty: Warzone experienced a major drop in player count. Ironically, 2021 was the year that the game achieved a total of 150 million active players due to its popularity. Apparently, this quickly changed throughout the course of the year as Warzone lost roughly 50 million players. Yikes. Thankfully, these numbers won't affect Activision Blizzard's sellability, as it's already underway its acquisition by Microsoft. This would have been a big deal breaker to investors had this report been made public before Microsoft's purchase.
As of the time of this writing, Call of Duty: Warzone currently has 100 million active players. Just seeing this figure alone, you can still consider this to be a fully loaded server. However, losing 50 million players in just a span of a year is no joking matter. It’s obvious that Activision’s shortcomings in improving Warzone played a huge role in the player count drop. Having consistent bugs and glitches in the game while dealing with a never-ending wave of cheaters, players are inevitably going to be fed up.
We’re pretty sure that Activision is aware of the situation and will have plans on improving the game. After all, Call of Duty is one of Activision's staple franchises. Especially now that they plan on taking a break from releasing CoD titles annually, they’ll have more time to work on Warzone. If this happens, hopefully, we’ll get to witness a rise in player count in the future.
Meanwhile, the development for Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile is still underway. Release date still pending, but Activision Blizzard would really wish that would help turn the tables.
