Do People Still Play Black Ops Cold War?
The short answer is yes! There are thousands of players still dropping into Black Ops Cold War whether it's for fast-paced multiplayer action or for some Zombie slaying. According to PlayStation tracking website PS-Timetracker, a total of 217 users spent over 1,200 hours playing the game. Considering that this is a small portion of the entire player base, it's likely that there are thousands more across Xbox and PC continuing to enjoy Treyarch's latest offering.
It's tricky to determine an exact number as Activision never releases any numbers regarding player count but one thing is for certain, players aren't quite finished with Black Ops Cold War. As with the end of any Call of Duty game cycle, a drop-off in numbers is expected but with Season 6 approaching with an all-new Zombies map, there's every chance of an increase in numbers before Vanguard releases.
How Many Players Play Warzone?
In comparison, the player base for Warzone is significantly higher than Black Ops Cold War because it is free for everyone. As the only free Call of Duty title available on PC and consoles, over 100 million players have dropped into Verdansk and Rebirth Island since it was released back in March 2020.
