Gaming companies like Treyarch have had a lot of business lately with new games they have been launching especially during Covid since everyone is at home and not many people have much to do in their homes. In November alone, Treyarch has sold 5.7 million game copies, and that number has still been rising significantly.

“The newer games have been fun and because of how many people have been buying them, there will be a lot more people to play games with,” said Eden Shrack.  With connection services and other things like online matchmaking, big game-making companies have made it so people can play with other players around the world.

Other big gaming companies like Ubisoft and Activision have had really good business as people have either been waiting for their games to come out or have been in quarantine and had not much else to do. Ubisoft has had a combined 1.7 million game copies sold since the beginning of 2020 while Activision has had 30 million copies sold since the beginning of the pandemic.

“I’ve enjoyed playing the newer games that have been coming out since there wasn’t much to do in quarantine, and it was also nice to get to play the games with some of my friends,” said Tyson Kluesner. 

Newer games like Call of Duty: Cold War have had almost 6 million players and if you combined the older games, they would have 100 million players monthly. This is just one group of companies. There are still dozens of big gaming companies that attract  players’ attention with new games.
