Call of Duty Takes Top Spot in Revenue in October 2024, Newzoo Reports
Call of Duty has cemented its dominance in the gaming industry, taking the top spot for revenue in October 2024 across PC and consoles, as reported by Newzoo. This achievement is a collective effort from Black Ops 6, Modern Warfare II & III, and the ever-popular Warzone. Notably, Black Ops 6 achieved the most successful launch in franchise history, boosted by its unprecedented day-one release on Xbox Game Pass, making it accessible to a broader audience without the steep price tag.
Call of Duty: Secured the top revenue spot for October and second in engagement across all platforms.
Fortnite: Continues to dominate as the most-played game, driven by the release of its latest chapter and a revamped battle pass system offering a unified price for all future seasons.
Roblox: Climbed to third in engagement, fueled by influencer campaigns, celebrity collaborations, and popular experiences like "Dress to Impress."
Blizzard Entertainment saw a strong month with World of Warcraft and Diablo IV:
World of Warcraft: Jumped 138 ranks to third place in PC revenue due to its 20th Anniversary Celebration and the release of The War Within expansion.
Diablo IV: Experienced a revenue surge thanks to the Vessel of Hatred expansion, launched on October 7.
The gaming industry in October 2024 highlighted Call of Duty's enduring success, Fortnite's unmatched player engagement, and Roblox's increasing cultural relevance. Blizzard’s resurgence with legacy franchises underscores the value of live service content and expansions.
