Modern Warfare 3 "35% off" Steam sale live: Price, how to buy, and more

Modern Warfare 3 (MW3) is currently being sold at a 35% discount on Steam as the Spring Sale is live. The sale began on March 14, 2024, at 10 am PT and will continue until March 21, 2024, at 10 am PT. During this entire week, Call of Duty fans can grab the latest installment at a much lower price than its usual $70 price tag.

MW3 launched back on November 10, 2023. Despite being a controversial entry, it garnered quite a large fan base. The developers delivered on several promises that fans of the franchise had been asking for for a long time, such as slide canceling, reload canceling, and more. Furthermore, the game dropped with its own Zombies mode that took a unique approach, giving fans an open-world Zombies PvE experience.

Needless to say, the game is packed with content. However, many despised the title's $70 price tag, as it was earlier considered to be nothing more than a DLC for MW2. That said, the game is now being sold at a discount for a limited time, and in this article, we'll look at the new price, how to buy it, and more.
