GoKawiilCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 early access hits 94% positive on Steam
With pre-order early access to its campaign underway ahead of this week's full launch, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 has earned a 94% positive rating across 4,068 Steam reviews, giving it a 'Very Positive' score. That's the best Steam reception for a mainline Call of Duty title since 2010's Black Ops, far outpacing recent entries like Black Ops 7 (38.7%), Black Ops 6 (45.7%) and Modern Warfare III (48.1%).
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The strong early numbers could offer some breathing room for Activision, which has faced lukewarm receptions for recent Call of Duty titles alongside layoffs and financial strain following Microsoft's $68.7 billion acquisition. However, the rating reflects only campaign access so far, so it may shift once multiplayer modes like the 12 core 6v6 maps and the extraction-shooter 'DMZ' mode become available to the wider player base this week.
- Modern Warfare 4 has a 94% positive rating from 4,068 Steam reviews during early access.
- It's the best-reviewed mainline Call of Duty on Steam since Black Ops in 2010.
- Full multiplayer modes, including DMZ, launch later this week and could affect the rating.
