Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII has set new digital download records, Activision has revealed.
The game has achieved Activision's biggest launch day digital sales, besting the likes of Destiny 2.
It is also the fastest-selling digital game in PlayStation history - it has set a new launch day record for digital games sold via the PlayStation Store. On Xbox One, it also set a record as Activision's biggest Xbox digital launch.
The game was made available on PC via Blizzard's Battle.net service for the first time (historically, the game was sold via Steam). It set a new franchise record, with digital PC launch sales more than double what Call of Duty: WWII managed to do during the same period in 2017.
According to Activision, more people connected online to play Black Ops IIII during launch day than last year's WWII.
The publisher stops short of saying that the game outperformed last year's title. Indeed, physical launch sales of Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII declined by almost 50% in the UK compared with Call of Duty: WWII.
