In the latest financial results, Activision Blizzard also reported the great success of Call of Duty Mobile, which in 2021 recorded 650 million downloads and an amount of monthly active users compared to that of PC and console together.
While Call of Duty: Vanguard was not considered a success for various reasons, including the choice of the historical setting of the Second World War, Call of Duty Mobile seems to be doing well, in many respects even better than the standard chapters on PC and console.
2021 saw significant growth in mobile gaming, both in terms of downloads and monthly active users, but also of content and visibility. More and more streamers and influential personalities of the videogame landscape tend to consider Call of Duty Mobile, in some respects considered better even than the major counterparts for PC and consoles, thanks to a certain amalgam of features and contents that come from the standard chapters and flow together in the mobile platform.
The exponential growth of 2021 probably also derives from the opening of the Chinese market, which saw a mass entry of new users into the community and sales that exceed one billion dollars in in-app purchases. In the meantime, we look forward to the Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile announcement, which could be a huge success given the circumstances.
