Call of Duty: Mobile Revenue Statistics
The game cleared $480 million in player spending in 2020 alone, according to Sensor Tower, placing it among the top-grossing mobile games that year. By mid-2021, lifetime revenue had crossed $1 billion — a threshold only a small number of mobile titles have reached.
Annual revenue has since moderated as the title entered its post-peak phase, but in-game purchases — primarily Battle Pass subscriptions and cosmetic bundles — continue to generate hundreds of millions per year. The United States, Japan, and South Korea contribute the highest average revenue per user.

The player base skews young and male. Players aged 18–34 make up the largest segment, consistent with the broader mobile shooter category.

Platform Breakdown: iOS vs. Android
Android drives the majority of downloads — approximately 70% — largely because Android devices dominate in high-population markets like India, Brazil, and Indonesia where the game is most widely played. iOS players, however, generate a disproportionate share of revenue. In the United States and Japan, iOS accounts for more than half of all in-app purchases despite representing fewer total installs.
| Platform | Download Share | Revenue Share |
|---|---|---|
| Android | 70% | 45% |
| iOS | 30% | 55% |

Seasonal Updates and Retention: By the Numbers
Call of Duty: Mobile runs a seasonal content model with roughly one new season every six to eight weeks. Each season introduces new maps, weapons, modes, and a Battle Pass. Activision reported that seasons tied to major franchise crossovers — including a Zombies mode relaunch and Warzone-inspired modes — drove the sharpest player retention spikes outside of the initial launch window.
Day-30 retention for mobile shooters typically sits around 5–8% industry-wide. Games that match COD Mobile’s content cadence tend to outperform that benchmark, though Activision has not published exact retention figures publicly.
