The Steam Spring Sale, which kicked off on the 20th, has breathed new life into an unexpected title. Most notably, 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare' has stormed back into the fray, armed with a staggering 90% discount. Available for just 8,390 won, it seems players are eager to snap up a short but punchy single-player campaign that was once the talk of the town. Consequently, 'Modern Warfare' has cracked the top 10 on Steam's 'Top Sellers' list and even shattered its own concurrent player records.

For the uninitiated, this title is the 2019 reboot of the 2007 classic 'Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare,' which launched on Steam on March 9, 2023. It brought back legendary figures like Captain Price, all while delivering a grit-filled, hyper-realistic depiction of modern warfare that earned it genuine critical acclaim. It was an absolute juggernaut at launch, raking in 600 million USD (approximately 897.6 billion won) in global revenue in just three days back in 2019.

This 90% discount is the lowest price the game has ever seen on the platform, comfortably dipping under the 9,000 won mark. It appears the prospect of snagging a highly-regarded, polished campaign for such a low price has proven irresistible. Steam user reviews are currently flooded with praise for its value, and the numbers don't lie: on the 22nd, the game hit a peak of 61,667 concurrent players.

Beyond that, the Steam Spring Sale continues to dictate the charts. Recent March heavy hitters like Crimson Desert and Slay the Spire 2 remain immovable, holding firm at first and third place, respectively.

The top 20 list by peak concurrent players saw little movement, despite the inevitable dip in numbers as the US and Europe headed into the work week. Crimson Desert maintained its 200,000 player mark, and its Steam rating has seen a welcome bump to 'Mostly Positive' following the patch on the 23rd, which addressed some of the control issues.
