Summary
115,145 players marked the Modern Warfare 4 beta’s peak concurrent count on Steam during its first weekend, with activity strongest on Friday before tapering through the session.
That opening phase was largely limited to pre-order customers, though giveaway and creator-distributed codes widened access, leaving room for a bigger showing when the open beta starts next weekend.
By Call of Duty standards, the result beat last year’s Black Ops 7 beta peak of 100,000 on Steam but stayed below Infinity Ward’s Modern Warfare 2 record of 168,330 in 2022.
Infinity Ward has tried to sustain momentum with patches on Saturday and Sunday that added a map, mode and playlist while adjusting weapon balance and map visibility.
Steam captures only part of the audience—Battle.net, Microsoft Store and consoles are excluded—and the beta still trails Battlefield 6’s 521,079-player Steam peak by a wide margin.
