Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has made $1 billion in record time.
Modern Warfare 2, the latest in Activision Blizzard's blockbuster franchise, launched late last month on October 28 and has since totalled over $1 billion in spend-through.
This comes just 10 days after launch, meaning Modern Warfare 2 has taken pole position among the Call of Duty franchise as the fastest game to reach that milestone.
Additionally, the Business Wire (opens in new tab) post announcing the figure reveals that over 1 billion matches and 200 million hours of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 have been played since launch.
If there was any doubt the Call of Duty franchise was an absolute juggernaut in the modern gaming landscape, Modern Warfare 2 has seemingly put any doubt to rest.
However, the new figure comes amid the Game Workers Alliance, a union comprised of Activision Blizzard workers, attempting to bargain with the parent company.
As Kotaku senior reporter Ethan Gach points out, Activision Blizzard has reportedly demanded the union repay the company for work time missed by developers attending bargaining sessions.
Activision is making its union QA literally pay for their seats at the contract bargaining table.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 just made $800 million last weekend.
