Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Tops Steam Global Best Sellers Before Release

Summary

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 has topped the Steam Global Best Sellers chart even before its official release, following the launch of its open beta. Despite receiving criticism from players during the beta phase, the game's pre-orders are accelerating at a rapid pace, especially notable after earlier reports suggested pre-orders might lag behind Gears of War: E-Day. This surge indicates that Modern Warfare 4's launch sales could surpass last year's Black Ops 7, continuing the trend where Modern Warfare titles have been more popular than the Black Ops series in recent years. Additionally, Infinity Ward plans to add a campaign mission to expand the beta content in the coming days, which could further boost player interest and drive even more pre-orders ahead of the release. For FPS enthusiasts, this is a positive signal that Modern Warfare 4 is poised to become one of the year's most anticipated shooters. From an industry perspective, this achievement underscores the enduring appeal of the Call of Duty franchise on PC and the effectiveness of beta tests in converting interest into pre-orders. With the full release approaching, all eyes are on whether the game can maintain this momentum and deliver a successful launch.
