Modern Warfare 3's player count has increased substantially over the last 30 days. After attaining a peak player count of 157,439, Modern Warfare 3 recently clocked 166,772 peak concurrent players on Steam, according to SteamDB.info. In other words, this is the best the title has performed on the PC game-based platform.

The game has witnessed a peak active player count of over 160,000 after three months. The last time it happened was in December 2023. Since then, the latest installment from publisher Activision has struggled to maintain a strong player count until now.

A major reason for Modern Warfare 3 player count witnessing a spike on Steam is the constant efforts of developers in offering content-based updates. Moreover, they have also been listening to the COD community in taking feedback and providing the most requested bug fixes and solutions.

Plus, the multiplayer experience of MW3 has been well received by fans this time, compared to its predecessor, MW2.

MW3 Season 3 has offered more content for players

The release of the Season 3 update has brought in a plethora of new content, including exciting events, fresh weapon options, and maps, just like the previous two seasons.
