The 2023 first-person shooter video game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III was created by Sledgehammer Games and released by Activision. In the Call of Duty series, it is the twentieth game, and the third in the resurrected Modern Warfare subseries.
It is the direct sequel to Modern Warfare II, which was released in 2022. On November 10, 2023, the game was officially launched for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
Modern Warfare III continues the plot of the subseries while maintaining the realistic, contemporary environment of its predecessors. Modern Warfare III is the first Modern Warfare game to have a zombie mode, which is centered around an open world and pits the player against the environment.
Warzone is accessible on PC, much like all other Call of Duty game modes. On the other hand, players must make sure that their game is operating smoothly if they’re using a PC. Lags during gunfights might be an issue if performance is poor.
