Call Of Duty: Black Ops 7 Sales Were Significantly Down From Black Ops 6 – Report
For the past two decades, the Call of Duty titles have almost always been the US’s top-selling games of the year. But it looks like Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is experiencing a marked decline in sales from its predecessor, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
According to GamesIndustry.biz, Alinea Analytics’ data indicates that Black Ops 7 sold 401,000 copies on Steam in the first 26 days after its launch. By comparison, Black Ops 6 sold 2.3 million copies in the same time period in 2024. Call of Duty games have historically sold fewer copies on Steam than on consoles, and Black Ops 6 and 7 were both included with PC Game Pass. But that doesn’t account for why the latter had such a dramatic decline.
Video Game Insights also shared data that suggests Black Ops 7’s daily active users dropped to 18 million in November 2025, down from 36 million DAU in December 2024. Going back to Modern Warfare in 2022, concurrent users on Steam had been on a steady decline from 500,000 in early 2023 before briefly rebounding to over 300,000 players for Black Ops 6. Currently, Black Ops 7 is estimated to have a concurrent count between 50,000 and 100,000 players on Steam.
