Call of Duty Mobile smashes record to become most downloaded phone game in history

Call of Duty Mobile has racked up more than 100 million downloads since launching last week, making it the most popular mobile game of all time. Figures released by market research firm Sensor Tower revealed the game smashed the previous record set by Mario Kart Tour, which raced to 90 million downloads in its first week. Other popular mobile games like PUBG Mobile and Fortnite, picked up a relatively modest 28 million and 22.5 million downloads respectively in their first seven days. The majority of downloads came from iOS, with iPhone users accounting for 57 million downloads of Activision's free-to-play shooter. Within three days of launching on 1 October, Call of Duty Mobile hit the top of the iOS app charts in more than 100 countries.
