Summary

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3has been treated to its first-ever wave of discounts that reach up to 15%. The newly introduced offers, which only cover the console versions of the shooter, are part of Activision’sBlack Friday 2023 video game deals.

This time-limited sale arrives exactly two weeks after Sledgehammer’s newest title hit the market. While its critical reception has been mixed, the underwhelming reviews thatModern Warfare 3received were largely rooted in its lackluster story campaign, whereas its multiplayer experience enjoyed fairly widespread praise. Since few people buyCall of Dutygames for their single-player modes,Modern Warfare 3sales were still off to a strong startduring its launch week.

That early commercial momentum is bound to be helped by the newly launched deals on the console versions ofModern Warfare 3that Activision introduced as part of its Black Friday 2023 offerings. Specifically, the digital copy of the game can currently be picked up for $59.49, or 15% off, from the Microsoft Store and its PlayStation rival. Both storefronts are selling the cross-gen version of the shooter that also comes with a few goodies that were previously part oftheModern Warfare 3pre-order bonuses, including the Soap Operator Pack and Zombie Ghost Operator Skin.

The physical versions ofModern Warfare 3for the PS5 and Xbox consoles have also been treated to near-identical discounts on Amazon and can currently be picked up for $60, 14% off their regular price. The Xbox copies are being sold directly by Microsoft, while the PS5 offer comes from Microsoft’s latest subsidiary, Activision. Neither Amazon promo has a set expiry date, but if the newly introduced deals on the digital versions ofModern Warfare 3are any indication, these physical copies won’t be discounted beyond Saturday, November 25.

As tends to be the case with each newCall of Dutyentry, the recent arrival ofModern Warfare 3was just the beginning of the game’s ambitious multiplayer experience that its developers will continue to expand over the following 12 months. Among many other novelties, the first back-to-back sequel in the history of the series significantly revamps its Zombies mode, which is no longer level-based but completely open-world. Players who take advantage of one of these deals will do so just in time to enjoy the start ofModern Warfare 3Season 1, which kicks off on December 6.

While it’s possible that Activision will reintroduce this 15% discount come Cyber Monday, the price ofModern Warfare 3is unlikely to drop below its Black Friday threshold before 2024. For reference, the first timeMW2received a price cut greater than 15% was back in February, almost three months following its release, when it was temporarily available at 25% off.
