Call of Duty and Overwatch publisher Activision Blizzard has lost millions of players compared to this time last year but, despite that decrease, has grown its pool of developers by 25%.<\/p>\n
During its latest earnings results, Activision Blizzard revealed that its monthly active users – categorized as anyone who accesses one of its games in that timeframe – fell from 372 million at the end of March 2022 to 361 million at the end of June.<\/p>\n
This drop continues the publisher’s downward trend as the number of monthly active users on June 30 last year was 408 million, and it has fallen relatively steadily ever since. There are some extenuating circumstances at work \u2013 Activision Blizzard has had a notably quiet release schedule recently, party down to game delays, and a natural reduction in players after COVID lockdowns..<\/p>\n
