Call of Duty: Heroes hits 30M downloads (update)

Call of Duty is a juggernaut on home gaming consoles and PCs — and it’s finding players on mobile as well.

Activision announced today that Call of Duty: Heroes has reached 30 million downloads worldwide on Apple’s App Store, Google Play, Windows Store, and Amazon’s Appstore. This free-to-play mobile game doesn’t try to replicate the challenging first-person shooter mechanics of the blockbuster series. Instead, it’s a strategy game where you build bases and attack the strongholds of other players. It’s the No. 67 strategy game on iOS, according to App Annie, giving the franchise a foothold in the what could be a $36.9 billion mobile market, according to today’s updated forecast from marketing research firm Newzoo.
