Call of Duty: Modern Warfare came in as the No. 2 best-selling game of the month for April in the U.S., according to market researcher NPD. The game remains the best-selling game both year-to-date as well as for the 12-month period ending April 2020.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is currently the fourth fastest-selling release in U.S. tracked history (dollar sales through the first seven months in market), according to NPD. That means the game is selling at historic levels, and it had beaten all other game sales except three titles in its first seven months on the market.
