Call of Duty: Black Ops — Cold War is NPD’s 20th best-selling game ever

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is reaping what its most recent predecessors have sown. Fans of the series praised Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and the free-to-play battle royale Warzone, and that positive sentiment led to huge excitement and sales for the latest entry in the military-shooter franchise. The game is selling so fast that it is already one of the best-selling games of all time in the United States, according to industry-tracking firm The NPD Group.

“Call of Duty: Black Ops — Cold War was January’s best-selling game,” NPD analyst Mat Piscatella said. “Call of Duty: Black Ops — Cold War has been the best-selling game in the U.S. each month since its November launch, and it now ranks as the 20th best-selling video game in U.S. tracked history by lifetime dollar sales.”
