The resurgence of classic Call of Duty titles on the Xbox 360 has made a significant impact on the UK gaming charts, with both Modern Warfare 2 (2009) and Black Ops 2 (2012) reclaiming top positions. These two-decade-old games secured fourth and fifth places respectively in July’s best-selling games list, trailing only FIFA 23, Grand Theft Auto 5, and Red Dead Redemption 2. This resurgence is attributed to an alleged server update that improved matchmaking, alongside an Xbox sale. The heightened interest in these classics coincides with the announcement of the rebooted Modern Warfare 3, set to release on November 10, 2023, with further details expected to be unveiled within Call of Duty: Warzone on August 17. The digital and physical game sales in the UK for July soared by 31% compared to the previous year, with the PlayStation 5 remaining the leading console in terms of sales.
