Moreover, Warzone vehicle skins, which allows players to customize vehicles is an exclusive add-on.
For a limited time, PlayStation players will have exclusive access to the Survival game mode on the multiplayer map Shoot House.

Activision Rides on Franchise Strength
The COD franchise is one of Activision’s major growth drivers. Notably, the game has been the top-selling console franchise for this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company in 10 of the last 11 years. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
Per Activision, since its launch in October, players have played over 2.4 billion hours of COD: Modern Warfare. This includes the newly released Warzone that reached an impressive 30 million players in its first 10 days.
In fourth-quarter 2019, COD: Mobile installs exceeded 150 million. The game ended the fourth quarter as one of the top 15 grossing games on U.S. app stores. Modern Warfare saw strong growth in full-game downloads, with console digital mix at nearly 50%. In-game net bookings grew a double-digit percentage versus Black Ops 4.
Intensifying Competition
Activision faces significant competition from the likes of Take Two Interactive Software (TTWO - Free Report) , Zynga and Electronic Arts (EA - Free Report) , among others.
Notably, Take Two’s Red Dead Redemption 2 has sold 29 million copies while Borderlands 3 shipped 8 million units worldwide.
Moreover, EA’s Apex Legends, NBA Live 20, Plants vs. Zombies, and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order have also gained popularity.
Nevertheless, Activision’s franchise strength, exciting content and new releases make it well poised for near-term growth.
Biggest Tech Breakthrough in a Generation
Be among the early investors in the new type of device that experts say could impact society as much as the discovery of electricity. Current technology will soon be outdated and replaced by these new devices. In the process, it’s expected to create 22 million jobs and generate $12.3 trillion in activity.
A select few stocks could skyrocket the most as rollout accelerates for this new tech. Early investors could see gains similar to buying Microsoft in the 1990s. Zacks’ just-released special report reveals 8 stocks to watch. The report is only available for a limited time.

Zacks Names "Single Best Pick to Double"
From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
It’s a little-known chemical company that’s up 65% over last year, yet still dirt cheap. With unrelenting demand, soaring 2022 earnings estimates, and $1.5 billion for repurchasing shares, retail investors could jump in at any time.
This company could rival or surpass other recent Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Boston Beer Company which shot up +143.0% in little more than 9 months and NVIDIA which boomed +175.9% in one year.
