Overview
- Launch-week European units were more than 50% lower than last year’s Black Ops 6, according to GSD figures shared by The Game Business.
- The game nevertheless ranked No. 1 by both units and revenue in Europe for the week ending November 16.
- GSD covers physical and digital retail sales but excludes subscription downloads, and Black Ops 7 is included with Xbox Game Pass.
- Engagement and sentiment indicators skew weak, with lower Steam peak concurrency than its predecessor and negative user reviews focused on the campaign and use of generative AI assets.
- Competitive pressure is intensifying, as Ampere Analysis estimates over 25% of Call of Duty players in September purchased Battlefield 6 in October.
