Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Remains Franchise's Top Seller with 43 Million Copies Sold
January 13, 2025
Since its release in 2015, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 has become the highest-selling game in the franchise, with over 43 million copies sold.
A significant factor in its success is the popular Zombies mode, which features engaging maps and innovative movement mechanics that enhance the player experience.
Additionally, the game includes a Nightmares bonus mode and the Chronicles DLC, both of which have contributed to its lasting popularity.
Even with the emergence of newer titles like Black Ops 6, Black Ops 3 continues to hold a vital place in the Call of Duty legacy, appealing to players nearly a decade after its launch.
These impressive sales figures were revealed by Patrick Kelly, Activision's creative head, in a recent court filing.
In comparison, Modern Warfare (2019) closely follows with 41 million copies sold, while Black Ops Cold War (2020) has reached 30 million copies.
The development of Black Ops 3 was a massive undertaking, involving over $450 million in investment and a dedicated team at Treyarch over a three-year period.
