Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Surges on Steam Thanks to Massive Discount

[lingriiddd]

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is making a huge comeback on Steam nearly seven years after release, driven by a massive 90% discount during the 2026 Spring Sale. The price drop to just $5.99 has sparked a surge in player interest, pushing the game to a record-breaking peak of over 52,000 concurrent players—far beyond its previous highs. For a franchise known for rarely discounting older titles this heavily, it’s no surprise that both returning fans and new players are jumping in.

Developer Infinity Ward quickly capitalized on the momentum by enabling double XP for the weekend, giving players even more reason to dive back into the game. With active lobbies, fast progression, and one of the most praised multiplayer experiences in the series, Modern Warfare is enjoying an unexpected second wave of popularity on Steam.
