					<description><![CDATA[However, DICE's latest title has topped weekly active player charts in both the United States and Canada on PC via Steam.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>To say that <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/battlefield-6-open-betas-have-driven-steam-pre-orders-to-800000-copies-analyst" data-type="post" data-id="626140">Steam is a huge contributor</a> to the success of <em>Battlefield 6</em> would be an understatement. Its Steam launch was significantly larger than multiple past titles, at <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/battlefield-6-reaches-nearly-750000-concurrent-players-on-steam" data-type="post" data-id="629566">nearly 750,000 peak concurrent players</a>. However, the story on consoles is slightly different, at least in the United States.</p>



<p>According to Circana senior director Mat Piscatella, it ranked seventh in the weekly active player charts for PlayStation and sixth for Xbox. This is for the week ending October 18th &#8211; before this, it ranked in 12th and eighth places respectively. By comparison, <em>Call of Duty HQ</em>, which is where you go to access all things<em> Call of Duty</em> (including <em>Black Ops 6 </em>and <em>Warzone</em>), ranked second on both platforms.</p>



<p>Compare this to the weekly active players on Steam for the same week in the US and Canada, where <em>Battlefield 6</em> ranked first and <em>Call of Duty HQ</em> is nowhere to be seen. It only echoes Piscatella&#8217;s <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/battlefield-6s-pc-sales-among-the-best-seen-for-a-premium-game-in-the-us">previous report</a> about how its sales are &#8220;among the best seen for a premium game&#8221; in the region.</p>



<p>However, with <em>Battlefield: RedSec</em>, a standalone free-to-play battle royale experience, going live today, we may see a week where <em>Call of Duty</em> bends the knee. In the meantime, check out <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/battlefield-6-review-finally-a-battlefield-worth-fighting-over" data-type="post" data-id="629481">our review</a> for <em>Battlefield 6</em>, which has <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/battlefield-6-crosses-7-million-copies-sold-in-3-days" data-type="post" data-id="629921">sold over seven million copies in three days</a>.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[It's now the second best-selling game of 2023 year-to-date, with Call of Duty HQ ranking second in monthly active users.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Despite <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-3s-campaign-is-nothing-but-a-massive-disappointment">overwhelming criticism</a> against its campaign length, not to mention <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-3s-campaign-was-developed-in-16-months-rumor">reports of rushed development</a>, Sledgehammer&#8217;s <em>Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3</em> topped US sales charts for November 2023, per Circana. Not only is it the fifth year that a <em>Call of Duty</em> title has topped US charts in November, but analyst Mat Piscatella also revealed that it&#8217;s now the second best-selling game of 2023 year-to-date.</p>
<p><em>Call of Duty HQ</em> also ranked second in monthly active users on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, which makes sense since it&#8217;s necessary for launching <em>Modern Warfare 3</em>. <em>Hogwarts Legacy</em> is still the top-selling game of the year-to-date, ranking third in dollar sales thanks to the launch of the Nintendo Switch version. The latter was also the second best-selling title on the platform for November.</p>
<p>Video game content spending amounted to $4.6 billion in November, a three percent drop year over year. Piscatella notes that &#8220;comparable strength&#8221; of releases is the reason, with last year seeing the launch of <em>God of War: Ragnarok</em> (which <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/god-of-war-ragnarok-has-sold-over-15-million-units-worldwide">has sold over 15 million units to date</a>) and <em>Pokemon Scarlet and Violet</em> (23.23 million copies sold as of September 2023).</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">November video game content spending dropped 3% when compared to a year ago, to $4.6 billion. An 11% decline in Console &amp; Portable Content spending was partially offset by 3% growth across each of the Mobile, Subscription, and &#39;PC, Cloud &amp; Non-Console VR&#39; Content segments.</p>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">A primary driver of the year-on-year decline in Console &amp; Portable Content was the comparable strength of the new release slate. November 2022 featured the launches of both God of War: Ragnarök and Pokémon: Scarlet/Violet.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[The hub will support Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and 3, and Warzone, allowing players to access all their content in one place.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Following rumors that <em>Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3</em> is <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-3-content-delivered-via-add-ons-to-modern-warfare-2-rumor">releasing as add-ons to last year&#8217;s <em>Modern Warfare 2</em></a>, Activision has <a href="https://www.callofduty.com/blog/2023/08/new-chapter-in-call-of-dutys-modern-warfare-universe-begins-tomorrow" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> <em>Call of Duty</em> HQ. It serves as &#8220;one access point&#8221; for all future content. <em>Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Warzone</em>, and <em>Modern Warfare 3</em> are confirmed to be included.</p>
<p><em>Call of Duty</em> HQ allows players to &#8220;navigate all their content in one place&#8221; and make it easier to choose the desired &#8220;game and modes.&#8221; Other highlights the publisher is excited about include anti-toxicity plans for Ricochet Anti-Cheat and a roadmap for post-launch seasons. While <em>Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3</em> receives an official reveal today, more details for all this will be provided in the weeks leading up to its release.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s out on November 10th for Xbox One, PS4 and PC, with current-gen consoles yet to be confirmed (but expected, given previous years&#8217; entries). Not much is known about this year&#8217;s entry, save for the return of Makarov as the villain, the <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-3-is-seemingly-bringing-back-zombies">apparent return of Zombies</a>, and rumors of <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-3-mp-maps-all-remastered-from-modern-warfare-2-2009-rumor"><em>Modern Warfare 2 (2009)&#8217;s</em> maps being remastered for multiplayer</a>. Stay tuned in the meantime.</p>
