Modern Warfare 4 Emerges to Best Call of Duty Steam Rating in a Decade
Modern Warfare 4’s campaign early access launched and has received exceptional early reviews on Steam. The game has achieved an 87.4% positive rating from over 2,000 reviews, marking the highest-rated Call of Duty title on the platform in over a decade—surpassing Black Ops from 2010. This significant reception represents a notable achievement for the franchise, which hasn’t enjoyed such strong sentiment in many years.
The strong early reception suggests the marketing campaign’s significant investment has resonated with players. The full game experience is still rolling out, with multiplayer, the DMZ mode, and esports content still to come. These components will likely provide additional context for how the game sustains its positive reception beyond the campaign experience.
This performance represents a potential turning point for the Call of Duty franchise on Steam, where player sentiment has been mixed in recent years. The rating achievement from a substantial sample of players indicates the game may be successfully addressing criticisms that have plagued recent releases in the series.
