Black Ops 7 physical sales down 61% as it fails to beat Battlefield 6 launch

Amid mass player complaints, poor reviews, and dwindling physical sales, Activision says Black Ops 7 has had a ‘great’ first weekend.

To say Call Of Duty: Black Ops 7 is having a rough launch would be an understatement. The game only launched on November 14 and it’s been met with a deluge of fan complaints about its awful campaign and use of generative AI.

It’s too soon to tell if this has had any major effect on the game’s long term prospects, but physical sales of Black Ops 7 are definitely down on last year’s entry in the UK.

Ever since digital took over, physical sales do typically decline each year, but compared to last year’s Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6, they’re down by a shocking 61% for Black Ops 7.

This is according to data from market research company GfK, as shared by The Game
