The Call of Duty: Black Ops III Community on PC is the largest of the 3, partially due to being given away with PS Plus and being part of the Playstation Plus Collection for Playstation 5 owners. On the zombies front, despite having the most impressive selection of zombie maps in the history of the franchise, only the most popular base game maps are active, meaning that only those maps and modes which come with the base game have sustainable numbers to ensure matchmaking even at peak times. The Call of Duty: Black Ops III Community on PC is the smallest of the 3, with daily highs of 2000-3000 concurrent players online unfortunately, the vast majority (90%+ according to in-game browser) of players only play the Team Deathmatch mode, with other multiplayer modes being varying between completely dead and almost entirely dead. The Call of Duty: Black Ops III community is split between the Playstation, Xbox and PC ecosystems and lacks crossplay, resulting in 3 very different sized communities.

Part of Call of Duty: Black Ops III’s longevity can be attributed to the Zombie Chronicles DLC (2017), for a Call of Duty title to receive substantial DLC 18 months after launch was at the time unheard of, and to this day, no other Call of Duty title has received such a massive content drop so late in its lifespan.

While many games and franchises see updates for several years after launch, that is not the case with Call of Duty titles, with most failing to receive much in the way of year two content.Ĭall of Duty: Black Ops III received new content up until June 2018, which saw the addition of 2 new game modes, as well as new loot items after this content update, players were given a final update in July 2018 which attempted to address remaining balance issues before the team were fully reassigned to other projects.

Treyarch is traditionally known as the best Call of Duty studio when it comes to long term support, and as a general rule, they continue to support their Call of Duty titles long beyond what has come to be expected for the franchise. Call of Duty: Black Ops III (2015) is the 3rd game in the Black Ops series and the 12th entry in the Call of Duty Series, developed by Treyarch Black Ops III made strides to modernise the series by introducing futuristic tech and weaponry, something that received a mixed reaction from the community with many agreeing it was a good enough Call of Duty title, but a poor Black Ops title.
