Millions of PlayStation fans in 2021 reportedly spent the majority of their time playing Call of Duty, and no other games.
I think we all have those certain games we could play for hours and hours without getting bored. Well, in 2021, that game was Call of Duty for a lot of PlayStation players, who reportedly spent 70% of their time solely playing CoD.
It’s not surprising, as Call of Duty is one of the biggest gaming franchises on the planet, with loads of games across several platforms, all of which have their own charm or appeal to a wide variety of players.
