Call Of Duty has been the best-selling video game in the US five times in the past six years but it’s been reported that Black Ops 7 sales are much lower than its 2024 predecessor and the game is currently the worst user-reviewed entry in the long-running franchise.
In a three-star review of Battlefield 6, NME wrote: “Providing a twist on the traditional Battlefield plotline and some picturesque new locations to enjoy (and destroy), this latest instalment will satisfy fans looking for more of the same only different. “
