MW4 Surges Past BO7 on Steam in Early Pre-Sales Metrics

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is already ahead of Black Ops 7 on Steam, nearing 400,000 copies sold and about $21 million in pre-sale revenue, according to Alinea Analytics, with MW4’s beta peaking at 115,000+ concurrent players compared to BO7’s ~100,000. MW4 skips PS4/Xbox One, holds an open beta Aug 28–Sep 1 (including Nintendo Switch 2), and is expected to see stronger PC sales since it isn’t on PC Game Pass. MW4 launches Oct 23, while GTA 6 arrives Nov 19, amid ongoing high console upgrade costs that could influence sales dynamics.
