Warzone fans decried Raven Software and Treyarch's decision to only have quad queues for Black Ops Royale. The team has now updated the battle royale modes to bring back Solo queues and the Standard Battle Royale mode with Verdansk as the big map, even in the face of Black Ops Royale's success.

The Steam Spring Sale has seen an unexpected surge in Call of Duty players, but not for Black Ops 7. This title from 2019 has obliterated its previous player count because it's only $6.
