Modern Warfare 2 surpasses Elden Ring as the best-selling game of 2022

In the United States, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has overtaken all other games in terms of sales, according to a recent analysis by NPD Group. Only a few months have passed since the debut of Modern Warfare 2, and it has already had a big impact on the gaming industry.

Activision extensively invested on marketing Modern Warfare 2 before its official release. To draw in more gamers, it invited various celebrities to appear in the Modern Warfare 2 trailers and also added new, thrilling game modes like DMZ. With the numbers the game has now produced in such a short period of time, it is easy to state that the money spent on marketing materials wasn’t wasted.

Elden Ring has been overthrown by Modern Warfare 2, according to the most recent NPD data, as reported by GameSpot. In terms of money earned over the last two months, Modern Warfare 2 has topped the charts, making it the most popular game launched in 2022.

Given the fierce competition that existed in the US gaming sector this year, this achievement is impressive. Elden Ring earned multiple accolades at The Game Awards 2022, making it clear that it is among the best games of the year 2022. But given that Call of Duty games often perform better during the holidays, their odds of surpassing Modern Warfare 2 are low.

With a significant patch arriving on December 14th, Activision Blizzard already has preparations in place to keep its fan base interested. The addition of a scalable social feature that will let users form groups with up to 5000 members is one of the patch’s standout features.

This function will undoubtedly aid streamers in growing their networks. The inclusion of Atomgrad Raid, in which three players invade a heavily fortified enemy post, is another significant element. It’s safe to predict that Modern Warfare 2 will be the best-selling game of the year at the end of the year with so much to look forward to.
