## Summary

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 has helped push the franchise past $40 billion in lifetime revenue, while also raising the profile of Xbox’s new division, XP. The division aims to adapt Xbox-owned games and franchises for film, television and other entertainment, with a Modern Warfare film from Peter Berg and Taylor Sheridan planned for 2028.

Released on 23 October after four years of development, the game has an 86 Metascore and will receive updates and support for the next year. It may be the last major game in its Modern Warfare storyline before the film arrives. Infinity Ward co-head Jack O’Hara says the film should stand on its own, though the game team is available to help; the project is a collaboration between Activision and Paramount Pictures.
