According to SteamDB, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has been experiencing a significant drop in active players on PC since its November release, with player numbers steadily declining in recent weeks (-38.9%: -122,724 players). Despite a strong launch, the game seems to be losing traction, possibly due to the Ricochet anti-cheat system and other factors that may be turning players away.
Other reasons players have been complaining lately:
Activision recases Black Ops 6 voices amid SAG-AFTRA strike.
Call of Duty cracks down on spam reporting in Black Ops 6 and Warzone.
Forget guns: Black Ops 6 now lets you take down enemies by farting on them.
While still available on Xbox Game Pass, the game's performance on other platforms remains uncertain. It remains to be seen if this downturn is temporary or a sign of deeper issues.
Do you think Black Ops 6 can recover, or has it already peaked? What's your take on its current player numbers?
