Gamers Have Played Call Of Duty Longer Than Humans Have Existed

Call of Duty is one of the most popular game series in the world, and many players love the games. They love them so much that collectively, gamers have put more time into Call of Duty than humans have existed.

Call of Duty, which began all the way back in 2003, has 16 console games and one mobile game over those 17 years. Since these titles have been available across many platforms and are incredibly replayable, many individuals have put in an amazing number of hours just trying to trick out their arsenal, fulfill other challenges to get the best gear, or just play with friends. With Call of Duty Modern Warfare (2019) smashing sales records too and player loyalty at an all-time high, those hours have really added up over the years.

A Tweet from UberFacts states that gamers have put in “25 billion hours” in Call of Duty games, which is the equivalent of “2.85 million years.”

The oldest human remains have been carbon-dated at about 200,000 years old, so that makes the collective years and hours spent playing Call of Duty an absolutely mind-blowing number. Considering that there are currently 7.8 billion humans on earth right now, that’s about 3.2 hours per human. With more than 300 million copies of Call of Duty sold worldwide over the last 17 years, with many of the games breaking records (like Black Ops 4, Modern Warfare, and more), that’s about 80 hours per copy.

In spite of a lot of strange glitches and problems over the years, Call of Duty remains one of the most replayable and social games in the world. Players can log tons of hours playing with friends and family members all over the world and now even across console platforms. And that is what makes gives this series such massively logged numbers of hours.

Call of Duty is not without its problems, but the games bring people together and is a wonderful tool to stay connected while having some fun. Also, with this many gamers and the devs working together, they can help generate donations for natural disasters, like the Australian wildfires. All told, these amazing numbers are both a boon for Call of Duty and its devs as well as fans of the series worldwide.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare (2019) is the newest CoD available, and it is on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows.
