Call of Duty: Warzone managed to surpass 30 Million players in less than two weeks, mainly due to the fact that the game is so enjoyable and you can play it for free.
Due to many countries being under lockdown and the game being free to play, the numbers soared up really high. Many other games such as Apex Legends and Fortnite are also getting a lot of attention due to the number of players online. It is the perfect time to sit at home and grind through games with your friends.
At the rate Call of Duty: Warzone is going, it might surpass even more records as the game is being supported by veteran COD players and many more streamers, which gives it exposure. Even though there are a lot of issues that manage to distract from the fun of gameplay, like claymores in random areas, people camping in building with shotguns, Warzone is still seeing more and more gamers log in to try it out.
Streamers such as Nadeshot, Dr DisRespect, and Shroud have influenced the COD community and they are partially the reason the number of players has reached this high.
Another major reason for Warzone's popularity is that it is relatively easy to run on many computers. You need a system with the below requirements to run the game at its lowest quality:
- OS: Windows 7 64-Bit (SP1) or Windows 10 64-Bit
- CPU: Intel Core i3-4340 or AMD FX-6300
- RAM: 8GB RAM
- HDD: 175GB HD space
- Video: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 / GeForce GTX 1650 or Radeon HD 7950
- DirectX: Requires DirectX 12 compatible system
- Network: Broadband Internet connection
