Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 has become the best-rated Call of Duty title on Steam since 2010's Call of Duty: Black Ops, according to a post from the Call of Duty news account CharlieIntel, as reported by screenrant.com. The ratings cover the campaign, which became playable on 16 October for players who bought the game early.
The full launch is set for 23 October on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Windows and Xbox Series X/S. Infinity Ward developed the game, with Activision publishing.
Modern Warfare 4 is the fourth and final entry in the rebooted Modern Warfare sub-series and the 23rd Call of Duty installment overall.
A franchise reset
The warm early reception contrasts with 2023's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, which drew mixed reviews, with criticism focused on its campaign. In May 2026, a hands-on preview at Infinity Ward described Modern Warfare 4 as a major reset for the franchise, pointing to new Apex Attachments and the Gunny Gunsmith assistant.
