Xbox CEO Celebrates 'Incredible' Milestones For Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 4

"One of the most celebrated Call of Duty games in its 24-year history"

Xbox has enjoyed multiple successes when it comes to first-party releases in 2026, and one of those is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 - not just because it's a CoD game, but because it's been getting some great reviews as well.

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma actually commented on this in a social media post last night, highlighting how Modern Warfare is "one of the most celebrated Call of Duty games in its 24-year history".

She also highlighted how the series has now reached $40B in lifetime revenue. Insane!

Modern Warfare 4 joins a string of excellent Xbox first-party games this year, including Forza Horizon 6 (which is up for GOTY at the Golden Joysticks), Halo: Campaign Evolved, Gears of War: E-Day and others.

It's actually quite crazy that Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 has been one of the most successful releases of 2026 for Xbox as well - it was brought to PS4 and PS5 along with BO1 earlier this year, and it's sold like hotcakes so far.

We're very intrigued to see how well Modern Warfare 4 ends up selling across all platforms, especially considering it didn't launch on Xbox Game Pass. If the figures are high, perhaps it'll spell big changes for the service in the future.

Did you buy Modern Warfare 4? Reckon the sales figures will be crazy? Tell us down in the comments.

The campaign certainly looks really good, in a year, when it becomes available on Game Pass, I'll give it a try.

Good to hear, and glad to see it doing so well. There's no denying CoD has exceptional staying power.

MW4 is a fantastic game. Campaign is excellent, DMZ is a substantial new game mode that has real potential, and MP is a really solid effort.

MP maps are a little lacking at the moment, but they'll be new maps soon enough. I've just been spoiled playing MW3, which has like 50 TDM maps on rotation.

Since the second ever Call of Duty (not sure what happened with the first!), and I still own every one of them. I have always bought CoD by way of pre-order but only ever played the Campaign, which is kind of crazy when you think about it. The last game that I bought was (I believe) Modern Warfare 2, which was the game that released in 2022 before the first game that released day one on Game Pass in 2023. For whatever reason, I did not end up playing the Campaign that released with the 2022 CoD, and I have not played any of them since either, even when it was available for me to do so via Game Pass, which makes all those years of paying premium price just to play the Campaign even more ironic.

Now I find myself really interested in playing the Campaign in Modern Warfare 4, and typically it is not available for me to do so unless I buy the game!

Anyway, I won't be buying it just yet, and indeed, I may well wait to see when it lands on Game Pass because in fairness, the makers of Call of Duty have done well out of me in the past. Only problem is, I will be dropping to Essential when my Ultimate runs out next June, which means I probably won't get the chance to play it via Game Pass either.

Oh well, I'll figure it out...

The same that last year's was rightfully bashed, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 deserves all the praise.
