Call of Duty Mobile has become the #1 iOS app in more than 100 countries after it exceeded 35M downloads across iOS and Android in its first three days…

The popularity of the app meant that many users were complaining about the game failing to activate, or remaining on the initial loading screen for half an hour or more.

Call of Duty Mobile was first announced back in March, with the beta launched in May. The release date was revealed last month.

Although a companion app was previously available, this is the first time it’s been possible to play the full game on iPhone, iPad, and Android devices.

Activision described the popularity of the game as ‘amazing.’

“Call of Duty: Mobile represents a landmark moment for us to bring one of the most successful entertainment franchises in history to the world’s largest platform,” said Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard. “This is a triple-A, free to play experience that we’re delivering to a whole new audience of fans.”
