Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 outperforms modern titles on PS5

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 has emerged as a highly popular title on the PlayStation 5 in the United States, according to recent PlayStation data. The decade-old game currently ranks as the 9th most popular game on the platform.

This popularity comes after Activision released ports of the original Black Ops titles earlier this summer. Notably, Black Ops 2 has outperformed modern entries in the franchise, including Black Ops 7 and Warzone, which are part of the Call of Duty HQ app that does not appear on the current top popularity list.

The trend follows underwhelming sales and reception for Black Ops 7. Meanwhile, developer Treyarch has indicated a desire to move toward new projects, potentially signaling a shift away from the Black Ops franchise.
