Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is the biggest release in the long-running blockbuster game series, Microsoft Corp. Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella said on Wednesday.
The latest installment of the star attraction in Microsoft’s $69 billion takeover of Activision Blizzard set a record for day-one players as well as Xbox Game Pass subscriber additions, Nadella told analysts on a call after earnings. Released on Friday, the game’s unit sales on the competing PlayStation and Steam platforms also rose 60% on the prior year’s total, the CEO added.
