Call Of Duty: WWII Hits Over 12 Million Players On PS4, Almost 825K On Steam

Call of Duty: WWII was the latest installment in the long-standing shooter franchise, and it was the one to give a much needed revival to the series. By "going back" to the roots of what Call of Duty is, the team effectively gave players what they have been asking for for years now. Pair that with the extensive research and work with established historians to make sure the FPS title was historically accurate, and you've got a recipe for an outstanding game. That being said, a lot of people are playing this shooter. We mean a lot.

One PlayStation 4 player showed off an image revealing that there was a whopping 12 million player count when he logged. And that's just the players online. For a title that hasn't been out for very long, that's no easy feat and very deserving of special recognition.

The original poster on Resetera added, "Safe to say that that the beast is back. For comparison on January 10th 2013 Black Ops 2 was at 10.1M on 360 and another 10M on PS3." The comments to the thread were definitely there to show why that huge number is there in the first place. Overall, the responses were very positive with proclamations of enjoying the latest title. For those interested, one member posted the Xbox numbers and ... wow ... that's a huge player gap. The total number of Xbox players, at the time this article was written, was at 7.8 million. Steam's count is almost at 825K, at this time. For those interested in checking out the game, it's super cheap on a variety of sales including the PlayStation Store, the Xbox Countdown, and the Steam Winter Sale:
