In a significant milestone, Activision revealed that its hit game, Call of Duty: Mobile, has achieved over a billion downloads since its inception. The game launched in 2019 and available on Android and iOS, garnered immense popularity, reaching 270 million downloads within the first year itself.

The Future of Call of Duty: Mobile

This announcement led to some noteworthy reactions from fans.

Activision addressed the growing concerns by reassuring fans about their long-term plan for Call of Duty: Mobile. While they did not explicitly respond to Microsoft's reveal, they emphasized their continuous support and a comprehensive roadmap for fresh content and updates. However, the timeline for the phasing out remains uncertain. Warzone Mobile was launched on March 21st, stirring more speculation about the future of Call of Duty: Mobile.
