Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III Already on Sale for Black Friday in a Rare Move

Just in time for the holidays, get a taste of Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® III during the Free Access period from December 14 through 18. Free Access players will experience a variety of Multiplayer content throughout the event, from classic maps like Highrise, Rust, and Shipment to the new Season 1 Meat map, plus the new War mode, the fully co-operative Modern Warfare Zombies, and more.

Video game analyst group Circana has released its November 2023 U.S. Video Game Market Highlights report and in it, the company reveals that, unsurprisingly, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III was the best-selling game of the month. It launched on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC on November 10 and is already the second best-selling game of 2023, behind Hogwarts Legacy. 

Over the years, Call of Duty campaigns have delivered the closest distillation of Michael Bay-style cinematic set piece action in video games. The first-person military shooter franchise, perhaps the most popular series of games in the world, has increasingly tilted in favour of its money-spinning multiplayer modes, with gradual introduction of battle passes, microtransactions, and downloadable content, but some of its single player campaigns remain a benchmark for bombastic sequences in the medium. Memorable missions from Call of Duty titles are part of gaming folklore — the raw shock of a nuclear detonation, the tense deliberations of a ghillied-up sniper, and the disturbing implications of a false flag terror attack; CoD campaigns have sustained their commitment to over-the-top, knockout moments with imaginative mission design, the “Oorah” machismo of American military might, and immersive cinematics that punctuate the action.

Ring in the holiday season with the upcoming launch of Season 1 for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and Call of Duty: Warzone. The new season brings more Multiplayer maps; game modes, the next mission in Zombies; the introduction of Urzikstan in Call of Duty: Warzone, and much more.  

Season 1 Arrives in Modern Warfare III

Black Friday is here, bringing sales for many games, consoles, peripherals and whatnot. Not every game is getting discounted, so it’s interesting to see the likes of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 temporarily for less. It’s currently 15 percent off on both the Xbox and PlayStation Stores. Even Amazon has it for 14 percent off.

Amazon, Walmart, and Target are essentially giving away free money.

There's something magical about LEGO, and when the beloved building toy is combined with a setting as iconic as the Marvel Universe, the good vibes and fun go through the roof - even through the roof of this massive LEGO Daily Bugle set which is on sale for $300.99 this Black Friday, just a dollar higher than the set's lowest price ever.

The popularity of Dungeons & Dragons may have peaked earlier this year with the OGL fiasco, which supercharged the sales of everything not D&D. That’s created an influx of new and revitalized TTRPGs, and one of the most unusual by far is a system called Everyday Heroes — which is heavily discounted for Black Friday.

Warhammer 40K and its grimdark aesthetic are awesome, but not everyone can devote a significant portion of their time and budget to painting an entire army's worth of miniatures. If you (like me) enjoy the look of the war-torn universe of 41st millennium, but don’t necessarily want to engage in the tabletop game, you might want to check out the vast collection of official Warhammer 40K action figures from Joytoy that are currently on sale at Amazon.

Sony wireless, noise-canceling headphones are a popular holiday gift for a reason. They’re reliably excellent — and have been for decades. For this Black Friday, Amazon has two of my favorite headsets on sale: the Sony WF-1000XM5 earbuds and the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones.

PlayStation Plus subscriptions and PlayStation Store gift cards are currently on sale for Black Friday.
