After months of speculation and leaks Call of Duty finally got its free-to-play Battle Royale game with the release of Call of Duty Warzone. And in its first 24-hours of going live it has already seen over 6 million players jump in - or, jump out of a plane.

The announcement came via Twitter which highlights just how quickly opening up a multiplayer mode like this to the public can take off.

What a day! 24 hours in and over 6 million of you have dropped into #Warzone.

With the mode's 150 player count, Gulag prison system, in-game missions, and other elements - Call of Duty's take on Battle Royale is nothing short of impressive. And it looks to be getting even more so with Inifinty Ward planning to up the player count to 200.

"We brought a number of twists to battle royale," Patrick Kelly, co-head of Infinity Ward tells USA Today. "I do think the world you play in is going to be undeniably unique. For one thing, we are initially going to roll out with 150 players, when you are typically seeing 60 to 100. Actually, I can tell you we are already playing with 200 players. We are going to release that a little bit later."
